Hockey at Los Angeles 2028 Olympics ‘set for wet turf’

With sustainability and the environment remaining a hot topic, as well as 10,000 plus litres of water needed for its international turf, Tayyab Ikram said that the sport was on track to fulfil its desire to use water-free turf when he was inducted as FIH president in late 2022.
