Hockey took its most important step forward in 1924 when the International Hockey Federation, the world governing body for the sport, was founded in Paris under the initiative of Frenchman, Paul Léautey. Mr. Léautey, who would become the first President of the FIH, was motivated to action following hockey’s omission from the program of the 1924 Paris Games. Mr. Léautey called together representatives from seven national federations to form the sport’s international governing body, the Fédération Internationale de Hockey sur Gazon ... The women’s game developed quickly in many countries and in 1927, the International Federation of Women’s Hockey Associations (IFWHA) was formed. ... After celebrating their respective Golden Jubilees - the FIH in 1974 and the IFWHA in 1980 - the two organisations came together in 1982 to form the FIH. 3, record 4, English, - International%20Hockey%20Federation
