Who controls field hockey?

Answer 1

The current top governing body of international Field Hockey is the Federation Internationale d'Hockey, or the FIH for short. Each country in the Federation also has its own national governing body, each region has its own association, and beneath this are the associated clubs and teams under their responsibility. An individual game of hockey is controlled by two umpires on the field, and (especially in tournaments) an additional third umpire with varying responsibilities. The umpires control timing of the game, ensure the following of the rules and issue penalties where required.
