Sports Authority of India extended Men's hockey camp

NEW DELHI: The Sports Authority of India has extended the national camps of both men and women hockey teams currently preparing for next year's Tokyo Olympics at the SAI facility in Bengaluru.

The men's camp, which started in early August, has been extended till November 28 while the women's team will train until December 12, SAI said in a statement. The camp was originally scheduled to run until September 30.

The SAI informed that the national camps were extended as the teams were not going to the Netherlands, as earlier planned, due to the Covid-19 travel restrictions.

"The decision to not hold international camps was taken in consultation with chief coaches of both teams and it was decided that the teams would not travel owing to Covid-19 restrictions," the SAI statement added. IANS
