If sources in the power corridor are to be believed, the next World Cup venue will be Amsterdam.

This also fits with the thinking of the FIH. India is number one country in terms giving the FIH its revenue, the Netherlands the next. It is obvious therefore the FIH wants to position its assets (tournaments) in India, The Netherlands and Argentina, the top three revenue earners.

It is also gathered Amsterdam will host both men and women's world cup, as it has happened in 1998. Interestingly, both our men and women teams participated that time.
