SA Hockey Gets Lifeline for World Cup | Johannesburg News
Description
South African hockey just got a major boost as Minister Gayton McKenzie approved R3 million to ensure the national men’s and women’s teams can compete in the 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup. After facing a funding crisis that forced players to cover their own costs, this move allows the reigning African champions to represent the nation without personal financial burden. The funds come with conditions — SA Hockey must explain the shortfall and outline a financial recovery plan — but for now, it’s a huge win for the sport and its athletes.
