FIH partners with Sky NZ for Women’s Hockey World League Final

The International Hockey Federation (FIH) has partnered with pay-television broadcaster Sky New Zealand to cover the upcoming Women’s Hockey World League Final event, which will be held in Auckland.

As host broadcaster, Sky will provide an all-female commentary team of experts for the national team event, which runs from November 17-26 at North Harbour Hockey Stadium.

Sky will also produce behind-the-scenes and additional content programming as part of the agreement.

Andy Oram, director of TV and broadcast for the FIH, said: “FIH’s 10-year Hockey Revolution strategy aims to make hockey a global game that inspires the next generation. Broadcasting across multiple platforms is crucial to achieving this therefore partnering with the best broadcasters for our events is key.”

The winner of the tournament will qualify for next year’s Hockey Champions Trophy.
