After successfully hosting the Hero Honda FIH World Cup Hockey at the beginning of 2010, India is ready to host the FIH Champions Trophy (Men) by the coming year (2011).

The Executive Board of the International Hockey Federation (FIH) has chosen India to be the location for hosting the trophy in 2011.

The FIH Champions Trophy is planned to be hosted in India in December next year.

During the same year, Olympic and World Champion Netherlands will host the Women's FIH Champions Trophy.

FIH will announce the dates for both the events later.

Previously, India had hosted this event two times, in 2005 (Chennai) and 1996 (Madras).

Netherlands has already hosted the women's FIH Champions Trophy five times. (With Inputs from Agencies)
