Celebrating the stars behind the scenes on International Volunteer Day
Swerzland( MNP) On International Volunteer Day, we celebrate people from across the globe who selflessly give their service in the administration and promotion of hockey. From board members and committee chairs to coaches and umpires; from admin workers to the youngest ball patrol boy or girl – have all gone above and beyond to make our sport the very best experience it can be for all participants.
The list of FIH events made possible over the past year, due to the effective contributions of the volunteers include the Women’s Junior World Cups, Hockey5s Lausanne, the Women’s World Cup, the FIH Hockey Pro League and continue with the men’s and women’s Nations Cup! And while we are celebrating just a few individuals on the United Nations-led International Volunteer Day, it is worth thinking about, and recognising the work of each and every volunteer on every continent that made the return of all hockey events around the world possible, after a prolonged period of absence due to the global pandemic.
To honor these hard-working and committed individuals, FIH is presenting an FIH International Volunteer Day award, recognising the invaluable contribution of each nominee. All recipients of the award have been nominated by their continental federation.
