The South African men’s indoor hockey team has written their name in the history books, securing their first-ever BRONZE medal at the FIH Indoor Hockey World Cup!

It’s an incredible milestone for SA Hockey and a moment of pride for South African sport on the global stage.

A BRONZE THAT FEELS LIKE GOLD!

South Africa fought their way through the tournament, proving their resilience, skill, and determination. This achievement is a testament to the passion and talent within the team—but questions are being asked about the lack of support from the South African government and the Olympic committee.

WHERE’S THE BACKING FOR SA HOCKEY?

Players and supporters have taken to social media, calling out the South African government and Olympic committee for their continued neglect of field hockey in the country. Despite repeated success on the international stage, funding and resources remain an issue.

“Sir, why does SA’s government & our Olympic committee consistently not support field hockey adequately? This has been a problem for years!” – SA Hockey supporters

WHAT’S NEXT?

This historic bronze medal should be a wake-up call to those in power. South Africa has proven they can compete with the best in the world—but they deserve the financial and institutional support to go even further.

It’s time for answers. It’s time for action. Will the government finally step up?
