The history of field hockey dates back to the
Egyptians, Greeks, Persians, Romans, and Arabs,
where stick and ball games were first invented to
play a game similar to hockey.
A similar sport called Hurling started during the 1st
millennium BC in Ireland.
Men’s field hockey was first played as an Olympic
Game in 1908.
Women started playing field hockey in the Olympic
Games in1980’s.


Field Hockey is a popular sport for men and women in many
countries around the world. It is the oldest known stick and
ball game. It is a game in which players pass the ball down
the field and attempt to score by putting the ball in a goal.
Each team consists of eleven players: five forwards, three
halfbacks, two fullbacks, and a goalkeeper. Each player
uses a curved stick to advance a ball towards the
opponent’s goal.

The objective of the game is to score more goals than the
other team.

 Field hockey is usually played indoors in
the winter.
 Field Hockey can be played both indoor or
outdoor.

In addition, we also hold the world record for the
highest number of goals scored in international
hockey with Sohail Abbas’s shining 348 goal
tally.

On the other hand, cricket has brought
home the World Cup just once in 1992,
the Asia Cup in 2000 and the International
Cricket Council (ICC) T-20 in 2009, and that
is about it.

Unfortunately, Hockey being an amateur sport does
not have much of a marketing appeal for the sponsors
to enable it to sustain media coverage.
Of course, cricket is where the money is. Banks,
mobile companies and all other major sponsors are
into cricket.



The current generation grows up, they are
bombarded through media with cricket.
Unfortunately, Hockey is neither in the memory
of our youth nor is its artistry and excitement
displayed on TV. There is simply no way that
hockey – our national sport – can have a future
with trends like this.
