Green turf in Antwerp raises eyebrows ahead of Olympics

Indian men's hockey team came back strongly against Belgium on Saturday after losing 4-1 to the same opponents on Thursday in FIH Pro League. The team's performance wasn't the only cause for concern. It was quite uncanny to see them play on green turf at Wilrijkse Plein, the venue for the Pro League mini-tournament. One can't help but wonder why the team has to play on a green turf when they will be playing on a blue surface at the Paris Olympics.
