Kuala Lumpur: The excitement is building in Malaysia as it prepares to host the upcoming FIH Hockey Men’s Nations Cup 2025, a tournament that will bring together top-tier international teams in pursuit of glory and a coveted opportunity to be promoted to the FIH Hockey Pro League, in Kuala Lumpur from June 15-21.
For a country with a deep-rooted hockey tradition and a passionate fan base, hosting the Nations Cup marks yet another proud chapter in Malaysia’s long-standing relationship with the sport.
Speaking about the significance of the event, Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) president, Dato’ Sri Subahan Kamal, shared his thoughts on the upcoming event.
“It is an honour for Malaysia to play host yet again for a prestigious tournament. Though it will be our first Nations Cup tournament as host, we believe every tournament hosted by us escalates excitement among the younger generation and helps promote hockey actively. We are confident this will increase interest in the sport and grow a bigger community of hockey lovers,” he was quoted by FIH in a statement.
The tournament is also significant for other participants as the winner will qualify for next year's FIH Pro League. IANS
