Bangalore: The final of the World Series Hockey will be held in Mumbai on April 2, the organisers said on Wednesday.
However, the two semi-finals on April 1 will be held in Bangalore and Mumbai. The semi-finals will commence at 7 pm in Bangalore and 9 pm in Mumbai, while the final is scheduled for a 9 pm start.
The two venues were selected on the basis of feedback from the players and also the crowd response. The Mahindra Stadium in Mumbai was revamped recently while the KSHA Stadium in Bangalore is one of the busiest hockey venues in the country with tournaments being played round the year.
Making the announcement, event director Preeti Mehta said: "The response from the fans has been overwhelming at all the eight venues, but we had to finally zero in on two venues for the semi-finals and the final.
"WSH wanted to give the best makeover to the MHA Mahindra Stadium, and we are pleased that the players are very happy with the quality of the turf and the floodlights."
