Both, the President of the FIH Leandro Negre and the President of the PAHF Alberto Coco Budeisky visited Paraguay from February 16th to 18th of this year. The objective of their visit was to give the development of Hockey in Paraguay a boost. With this objective in mind they joined the President of APH Norma Fernández de Caballero as well as Vice-President Patricia Niella for meetings with national authorities involved in the subject matter. These included the Minister of Sport Victor Manuel Pecci and Vice-Minister Mónica Seifart as well as members of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee Camilo Pérez Lopez Moreira (President), Ramón González Daher and Roberto Escobar (Vice-Presidents) and Juan Carlos Orihuela (Secretary).
The above mentioned authorities also participated in an Honor Session of the Board of Directors of the Paraguayan Hockey Association during which all members were present, as well as the presentation of the new web page of the APH, two friendly matches amongst select women´s and men´s teams and the awards ceremony of the 2014 champions.
