The FIH invites all hockey turf manufacturers and field builders to join the FIH Quality Programme for Hockey Turf.

As part of the programme, companies join an exclusive group that work in partnership with the FIH to ensure quality materials and processes are being used in the creation of hockey fields worldwide.
