SPORT YEAR OVERALL 6LST

Spaniard Jose Brassa took over as the new coach but he
soon was at the loggerheads with the government officials.

The battle for administrative power intensified after
the erstwhile Indian Hockey Federation was disbanded and it
took inordinate time to put in place Hockey India to replace
the ad-hoc committee that run the game for a while.
Even Hockey India officials dragged their heels over its
election, which nearly cost Delhi next year's World Cup
scheduled in the capital.
International Hockey Federation (FIH) eventually
relented and granted extra time for HI to complete it
elections and merge the men and women's federations. PTI AY
