The International Hockey Federation (FIH) has decided to withdraw any geo-blocking in place for all FIH Hockey Pro League matches from 2019 and 2020 on its free OTT platform www.FIH.live.



The same will apply for all FIH Hockey Olympic qualifiers, which were played in October and November last year.



This comes in addition to all matches from both 2018 World Cups, Men and Women, being already available (with no geo-blocking) on www.FIH.live:
