Hockey Australia reveal Perth as fourth venue for FIH Pro League

Perth has been confirmed as the fourth and final venue to host the inaugural FIH Pro League.

With Melbourne, Hobart and Sydney already locked in by Hockey Australia as venues for the elite men’s and women’s competion, Perth Hockey Stadium  has today been confirmed as the final venue.

Hockey Australia Chief Executive Matt Favier advised “I am pleased to be able to confirm Perth as the final venue for the Australian matches."

Australia will play Great Britain in both genders at the Perth Hockey Stadium on Saturday 16th February, the lcoation for Perth Hockey Stadium’s High-Performance program.

Welcoming Western Australia's opportunity to host the event, Hockey WA Chief Executive Stu Gilsenan commented “Perth has been the spiritual home of hockey in Australia for so many years and it is therefore only fitting that we will be hosting one of the most exciting fixtures of the 2019 FIH Pro-League series.

“Our rivalry with Great Britain is well-documented and I’m sure the Kookaburra and Hockeyroo matches will live up to the hype and provide us with a fantastic spectacle for all WA sports fans to enjoy.”

FOX SPORTS will broadcast all 16 matches hosted by Australia’s Kookaburras (men) and Hockeyroos (women) as part of the new FIH Pro League.
