The '''Fédération Internationale de Hockey''' (English: '''International Hockey Federation'''), commonly known by the [[acronym and initialism|acronym]] '''FIH''', is the international governing body of [[field hockey]] and [[indoor field hockey]]. Its headquarters are in [[Lausanne]], Switzerland and the president is [[Dr Narinder Dhruv Batra]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fih.ch/inside-fih/our-team/executive-board/ |title=Executive Board |access-date=5 September 2018 |publisher=FIH}}</ref> FIH is responsible for field hockey's major international tournaments, notably the [[Hockey World Cup|World Cup]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
FIH was founded on 7 January 1924 in [[Paris]] by Paul Léautey, who became the first president, in response to field hockey's omission from the programme of the [[1924 Summer Olympics]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Sathe|first=Mukund|title=Paul Léautey|url=https://mukundsathe.com/tag/paul-leautey/|access-date=2021-04-01|website=This Day in History|language=en}}</ref> First members complete to join the seven founding members were Austria, [[Royal Belgian Hockey Association|Belgium]], Czechoslovakia, France, Hungary, Spain and Switzerland.<br />
<br />
In 1982, the FIH merged with the International Federation of Women's Hockey Associations (IFWHA), which had been founded in 1927 by [[Hockey Australia|Australia]], Denmark, [[Hockey England|England]], [[Irish Hockey Association|Ireland]], [[Scottish Hockey Union|Scotland]], South Africa, the United States and [[Welsh Hockey Union|Wales]].<br />
<br />
The organisation is based in [[Lausanne]], Switzerland since 2005, having moved from [[Brussels]], Belgium.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
[[File:International Hockey Federation map.png|400px|right|thumb|Map of the World with the five confederations.]]<br />
In total, there are 138 member associations within the five confederations recognised by FIH. This includes Great Britain which is recognised as an adherent member of FIH, the team was represented at the [[Field hockey at the Summer Olympics|Olympics]] and the [[Hockey Champions Trophy|Champions Trophy]]. England, Scotland and Wales are also represented by separate teams in FIH sanctioned tournaments.<br />

<br />
The [[FIH World Rankings]] was updated once after the major tournament finished, based on FIH sanction tournaments.<br />
<br />
==Recognition and awards==<br />
The [[FIH Player of the Year Awards|Player of the Year Awards]] have been given annually since 1998 for men and women, while the young category was added in 2001 to honour the best performances for junior players (under 21).<br />
<br />
Another award, the "Honorary Award", was given to people who have made outstanding contributions to field hockey.<br />
