"Hockey in Odisha is
more than a sport. It’s a way of life, especially in our tribal regions,
where children learn to walk with hockey sticks.
President of the International Hockey Federation (FIH)
and Indian Olympic Association (IOA), Narinder
Dhruv Batra, was effusive in his praise.
"Delhi is the capital of India and Mumbai is its financial capital. Bengaluru is the IT capital. For me, Bhubaneswar is the sports capital. Kalinga Stadium, which is hosting the World Cup in November, has come up so well that it can be rated one among the top five stadiums in the world," he said.

In fact, the city has organised at least 10 national and international
sporting events in the last four years.

The state’s flirtation with international hockey started in 2014
when Bhubaneswar played host to the Champions Trophy hockey tournament that left the
hockey officialdom much impressed about the city’s facilities and potential
to hold events of such magnitude. In 2016, Odisha formed
the Kalinga Lancers hockey team that won the Hockey India League in January last year.
The state had also successfully organised one of hockey’s biggest
events, the Hockey World League final during December 1 to 10, 2017.
Despite rains affecting the matches, thousands of spectators
braved the downpour to turn up at the Kalinga stadium. The final act of this run is the
FIH World Cup between November 28 and December 16 where 16 teams
will slug it out for the coveted cup.

Apart from hockey, the success of Hero Indian Super League (ISL) football matches and International Tennis Federation (ITF) tournament held in March, prompted
the Chief Minister to reveal his dream of hosting
a Davis Cup tie at the Kalinga Stadium. After
being impressed by the arrangements during the ISL, the All
India Football Federation hosted the inaugural
edition of the Super Cup here. The city also played host to the Asian under-18
Girls Championships. Last year, Odisha successfully hosted
the 22nd Asian Athletics Championship where around 700 athletes from
42 Asian countries participated. But why sports was given so much importance
in a state, which was once known for starvation and
natural calamities? The Chief Minister feels sports
is an important component of socio-economic development as its impact on economy
and society is multi-dimensional.

"Investment in sports is an investment in youth and investment in youth is an investment in future. See how Seoul was transformed after the Asian Games and Olympics and Beijing after the Olympics. Their economy and standing in the world have changed. Youth in the state are gifted and talented. We want Odisha to set a benchmark in global sports arena and I hope it will take the state to the next level," Naveen Patnaik said.
It’s not just hockey, Odisha has been following a two-pronged strategy to churn out champions in athletics, archery, weightlifting, badminton, hockey and
football. Of late, Bhubaneswar has emerged as a major sports destination on the
world map. This year, the budget for development of sports and infrastructure
has been three times the previous year’s budget of `120
crore.

With a number of international hockey tournaments lined
up, the state government believes its sponsorship will
present Odisha as a brand before a global audience. Sports Director R Vineel
Krishna said that since India will be playing at least ten major tournaments during the five-year period, there is a great opportunity to project the potential of Odisha
internationally. "The sponsorship is applicable for both men’s and women’s teams besides the [url=https://www.playwellsports.com/Fitness%20Equipment
