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 Narinder Dhruv Batra.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fih.ch/inside-fih/our-team/executive-board/ |title=Executive Board |access-date=3 August 2021 |publisher=FIH}}</ref> FIH is responsible for field hockey's major international tournaments, notably the [[Hockey 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 has been based in [[Lausanne]], Switzerland since 2005, having moved from [[Brussels]], Belgium.<br />
<br />
In response to the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]], the FIH banned Russia from the [[2022 Women's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup]], and banned Russian and Belarusian officials from FIH events.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2022-03-18 |title=FIH reiterates full support to Ukraine’s hockey community |url=https://www.fih.ch/news/fih-reiterates-full-support-to-ukraine-s-hockey-community/ |access-date=2022-03-22 |website=FIH}}</ref><br />
<br />
