Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey: The re-introduction of the Hockey India League 2024, a tournament that has not taken place since 2017, is a milestone for the sport. Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey was ecstatic whilst announcing the venture and went on to claim that it was a ‘dream come true’ for him.

“Hockey India League was not just my dream but of the entire nation. I believe that it is a great platform and it will be one of the best leagues in the world where top players from around the world will be playing in the league from December 28 to February 5.

The return of the HIL was officially announced by Hockey India on Friday, marking the end of a seven-year break for the league. The upcoming season will feature eight men’s teams and six women’s teams, with matches set to run from December 28 to February 5. The men’s tournament will be hosted in Rourkela, while Ranchi will stage the women’s competition.
