Sports Minister M S Gill today expressed disappointment over the controversial referral system introduced in the hockey World Cup here for the first time and said the FIH needs to have more representation from Asia in the management of the sport world over.

 

Gill said with the International Hockey Federation earning half of their revenues from India, the nation should have greater say in the affairs of world hockey.

 

"I feel Asia should have more participation in the management of hockey and in the referral system. I have already told this to FIH president (Leandro) Negre," Gill said during a luncheon meeting organised by the Sports Ministry for reporters covering the World Cup.

 

"FIH's main earning comes from India. India contributes 50 per cent of FIH's revenue. The Netherlands comes next.

 

World hockey has to have India and Pakistan in the management of the game.
