Field Hockey

Also Known As Hockey Used as the plain unqualified name outside North America; Sweden and Finland instead use landhockey/maahockey (ground hockey) to distinguish it from ice hockey.
Hockey Codes

The International Hockey Federation (FIH), the sport's global governing body, was founded on 7 January 1924 in Paris by Paul Leautey, who became its first president, in direct response to field hockey's own omission from that year's Olympic programme; the seven founding members were Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Hungary, Spain and Switzerland. Stick-and-ball games have independent older traditions in many regions; the modern rules and international competition structure date to this 1924 founding.

Facts
Origin Year
1924 2
Marks the Paris founding of the international governing federation, prompted by the sport own exclusion from the 1924 Olympic programme. Stick-and-ball games have much older, independent traditions worldwide that this date does not claim to cover.
Originating Region
England, nineteenth century, where the modern codified sport and its first clubs and rules took shape; independent, older stick-and-ball traditions existed separately in ancient Egypt, Persia, Greece and Rome. 3
International Governing Body
International Hockey Federation (FIH), founded 7 January 1924 in Paris by Paul Leautey; headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland; merged with the International Federation of Women Hockey Associations in 1982. 2
