Axe From Glasgow 2026 Won't Impact Future Inclusion Of Hockey In CWG, Says FIH
The International Hockey Federation: The International Hockey Federation (FIH) has expressed disappointment at hockey's exclusion from the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow but said it has been made clear that this decision is exceptional and only related to this edition of the Games.
The Glasgow City Council and the Scottish Government have stepped in after the Victoria State of Australia withdrew as host for the 2026 Games because of escalating costs.
Glasgow, which had hosted the Commonwealth Games successfully in 2014, was on Tuesday confirmed to host a scaled-down Games in 2026 with only 10 major sports on the programme, dropping prominent ones like hockey, badminton, wrestling, and squash among others.
