ABOUT 'INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY FEDERATION'
The
International Hockey Federation (FIH)
which is based in Lausanne, Switzerland, is the international governing body for
the sport of field hockey. The main sections of the IHF website are: News, FIH,
Calendar, Events & Results, Rules, Event Management, Photo Gallery, WorldHockey
TV, Athletes, Development, Coaching, Umpires, Publications, Pitches & Equipment,
Medical, and Anti-Doping.
The FIH section contains an article on the history of field hockey. A crude form
of hockey was played about 4,000 years ago in Egypt, and in Ethiopia around
1,000 BC. Forms of hockey were also played by the Romans and Greeks, and by the
Aztec Indians in South America. The modern game of hockey evolved in England in
the eighteenth century.
The Photo Gallery contains sets of photographs from all IHF events, dating back
to 2002. The main publications of the FIH are the WorldHockey Online Magazine,
WorldHockey Highlights (a biennial review of the IHF's strategies, activities
and achievements), and Rules Books.
