NINGOMBAM ELECTED UNOPPOSED AS HOCKEY INDIA PRESIDENT

Manipur’s Gyanendro Ningombam has been elected unopposed as Hockey India President while former president Mohd Mushtaque Ahmad is back in the Hockey India Executive Board after being elected unopposed for the senior vice president post.

Ningombam now becomes the first president from the North east region to spearhead the sport’s governing body. He formerly held the position of officiating president after Mohd Mushtaque Ahmad had tendered his resignation in July this year.

“Both Gyanendro and Mushtaque have several years of experience in hockey administration and I am confident their expertise will benefit the sport. Their advice will be instrumental in developing the sport further in the country and their leadership will help us work towards achieving our goals,” stated Hockey India Secretary General Rajinder Singh.

Ningombam, who has been elected for a term of two years, has served as the Chief Executive Officer of Manipur Hockey between 2009 and 2014 and has been associated with Manipur Hockey for over a decade.
