Following the news that Hockey will not be included in the sports programme for Glasgow 2026 Hoci Cymru has released the following statement:
"It is deeply disappointing to learn that hockey, a sport with such a proud history at the Commonwealth Games, has been excluded from the 2026 event. This decision is especially disheartening given the lack of use of the 2014 Glasgow legacy venue, which was specifically built to host world-class hockey events. The exclusion not only impacts our athletes, but also the wider hockey community, who cherish the sport's place on the international stage. We will continue to advocate for hockey’s rightful inclusion and remain committed to growing the sport both in Wales and globally."
