FIH President Tayyab Ikram: “We have a lot to learn from our stakeholders!”
Lausanne, Switzerland (MNP) As he’s just completed his first year at the helm of hockey’s world governing body, Tayyab Ikram shares his thoughts about his first twelve months as FIH President and gives an update on the ongoing works and projects of FIH.
A year after you started your Presidency, which message do you have for the National Associations around the world?
I’m full of gratitude towards the National Associations (NAs) for their confidence in me and during my first year of Presidency. They have been much closer to me than before. Same goes for the athletes, with whom I had a lot of insightful interactions. I’m very thankful to them too.
I would also like to add the following: all the stakeholders and NAs members of FIH must develop the sport in the most honest, transparent, ethical and credible way. In my more than 45-year sports career, I’ve always ensured that honesty, transparency, ethics and credibility are never ever compromised. This is inherent to my work and personal ethics.
