ForewordThe best illustration remains its strong support of andcooperation in the organisation of the first-ever edition ofthe Youth Olympic Games in Singapore. These Games willdefinitely become an unforgettable event and experience forall participants.IOC PresidentAs time goes on, the International Hockey Federation (FIH)continues to be an efficient and reliable partner not only forthe International Olympic Committee (IOC) but also for theentire Olympic Movement.The FIH has also positively replied to our invitation to supportthe pilot project of the IOC’s Sports for Hope Programme inLusaka (Zambia). Such involvement shows us that the FIH’sobjectives are not only words, but are also translated intoaction.I would like to thank here all the 125 national associations.Thanks for the great work you do to boost the development ofsport and its values in your respective countries.Over the past two years, the FIH’s activities have once againbeen instrumental in further developing hockey worldwidefor the benefit of the athletes, in particular young people,as underlined in these Highlights. And, like the IOC, the FIHis also committed to sport in general and its role in youthdevelopment.I thus invite the International Hockey Federation to continue towork together with us for the good of sport, with commitmentand passion!Jacques RoggeIOC President3

FIH PresidentIt has been my privilege and pleasure to serve the FIH asPresident for the last two years. During this period I believesome important steps have been taken to move hockey and itsmanagement towards a modern and an even more successfulfuture.For me, there have been a number of highlights that are stillvery fresh in my mind. 2009 saw two outstanding ChampionsTrophy tournaments in Australia. Sydney hosted the SamsungFIH Women’s Champions Trophy in July, where Argentinaclaimed their second title in a row by defeating Australia in apacked stadium. This was followed in November by the ABNAMRO FIH Men’s Champions Trophy, where more impressivecrowds turned out to watch Australia defeat Olympicchampions Germany in the tournament final.2009 was also the year of the Junior World Cups; two eventswhich are hugely important for the FIH. Germany emergedvictorious in the Standard Chartered Bank Men’s Junior WorldCup, which took place in Malaysia and Singapore in June. TheBDO Women’s Junior World Cup was won by the Netherlands,who claimed a 3-0 win over Argentina at the tournament inBoston, USA. Both tournaments were superb advertisementsfor junior hockey, with many players marking themselves asgenuine stars of the future.Although there were many top class events during 2010, itis the World Cup tournaments which took place in India andArgentina that will live long in the memory. The Hero HondaFIH World Cup in New Delhi overcame many issues in thebuild-up to be a real success, with Australia defeating Germanyin the final to win their first World Cup since 1986. Argentinawon the BDO FIH Women’s World Cup on home soil with a 3-1final win over Olympic champions the Netherlands. Both eventsattracted large crowds, creating a stunning atmosphere thatwill never be forgotten by those who were there to witness it.The inclusion of hockey in multi-sport events is also importantfor the development and promotion of our sport. We thereforewelcomed the opportunity for young hockey players andofficials to participate in the inaugural Youth Olympic Games inSingapore which was a well organised and very enjoyable event.The high and exciting profile of hockey in the CommonwealthGames in New Delhi was also outstanding. It reinforced theimportance of the promotion of hockey in India.Hockey has always been a sport of innovation, unafraid to trialnew rules with the aim of improving the game. The past twoyears saw changes which made our sport even more dynamicand exciting for the players, spectators and television viewers.A prime example is the introduction of the “self pass rule”which has changed the game dramatically for the better. Ourdevelopment of video technology to assist umpiring decisionsalso increases hockey’s reputation as a truly pioneering sport.In relation to competitive hockey, I have been concerned toexpand our competition structure so that all member NationalAssociations have the chance to take part rather than justthose at the top. For the past year the Executive Board andCompetitions Committee have been looking at a concept of acompetition played over four rounds in a two year cycle. AllNational Associations would be eligible to enter and the firsttwo rounds played in year one would be on a regional basis.These two rounds would produce the teams to go forward tothe third round which would be two tournaments each of eightteams in the second year. This round would produce teams togo forward to a final eight team tournament.This new competition would also possibly produce the lastthree teams to qualify for both future World Cups and OlympicGames. This format not only provides all National Associationswith an opportunity to play at a higher level than before, it alsogives FIH a new and very marketable competition which will beattractive to sponsors.2009 and 2010 marked the return of Indian sponsor interestin FIH hockey and an increase of FIH’s global partners fromfour to five. In staging the 2010 Men’s World Cup in India, FIHwas able to attract Hero Honda, one of India’s biggest businesssuccess stories and now the largest motorcycle manufacturerin the world, and Steel Authority of India. They joined existingpartners ABN AMRO, Ata Holding, BDO and Samsung asglobal partners. Several other blue chip companies cameon board on a local level including Coca-Cola, ING Life andReebok.In the next period, we must look to renew and extend oursponsor partners. We are aiming to create an environment inwhich current and potential commercial partners will explicitlydesire to be associated with and support our sport. This will bedone in association with a new approach to the relationship wehave with competition hosts and how we manage the valuablerights inherent in our top properties.The development of hockey around the world is dependenton access to programmes such as the youth activities in manycountries. At the other end of the development spectrum,we are also making progress with high performance whichenables national teams to improve their standards often withvaluable support from Olympic Solidarity.Facilities are also important for hockey development. In thiscontext, the completion of the “Sport for Hope” project inLusaka, Zambia in early 2010 was a significant milestone.The IOC sponsored and coordinated this multi-sport trainingfacility for which FIH contributed a synthetic turf hockey pitch.The cost of the pitch was met entirely by donations and wespecially acknowledge the significant financial contributionfrom the Foundation for Global Sports Development.Support was also given to the Zambia project by Musco SportsLighting who provided lighting systems for the whole facility.We believe this will be the beginning of a fruitful relationshipbetween Musco and the FIH.To provide a focus for the future of the FIH and hockey, wehave developed a Strategic Plan to guide us through the period2010 to 2016. The Executive Board and many other peopleespecially the members of the Strategic Planning Taskforcehave helped to create a new framework for our future activities.The Plan focuses on raising the profile of the FIH and ofhockey worldwide. Enhancement and rationalisation of theinternational competition schedule is another priority andrelates to my earlier comments about a future new competition.Playing performance is also a priority in the Plan and we aimto raise the overall level of play while at the same time closingthe performance gap between top playing nations and the rest.The Plan also recognises the importance of strengtheninggovernance and coordination structures for the FIH and forhockey.The strategic priorities referred to above are key to theother major focus in the Plan: to triple FIH revenues in theperiod 2010-2016. This recognises that financial resourcesunderpin the ability of our sport to grow. The target we haveset ourselves in the Strategic Plan is challenging to deliverbut with concerted efforts from everyone involved I believe itis achievable.Our member National Associations continue to be thebedrock on which FIH is founded. In addition, the ContinentalFederations will play an increasingly important role in thestructure and future of FIH. From 2011 onwards, we willhave a Memorandum of Understanding with each ContinentalFederation which will enable resources to be allocated onthe basis of agreed commitments and responsibilities. AContinental Federation will be able to respond more flexiblyand appropriately to the needs in its region which we recognisevary from one continent to another.One of the places where the Continental Federations makea significant contribution is in the work of the ExecutiveBoard and I am pleased this will continue in the proposednew composition of the Board. More generally, I believethe proposals for restructuring of the Board and OfficeBearer roles are an important step towards streamlining andmodernising our decision making structure. Although thesechanges are appropriate, I want to acknowledge the valuablecontribution over the past two years of the Executive Boardmembers and the Office Bearers especially Peter Cohen asHonorary Secretary General. The progress we have madewould not have been possible without their advice, supportand cooperation.The FIH Office in Lausanne also plays a crucial role insupporting me and executing our programmes. Within theOffice, Christophe Troendle retired as Director General at theend of July 2009 but during his period with us helped focuson the necessary business and commercial needs of the FIH.Kelly Fairweather has now taken on the role of Chief ExecutiveOfficer and will reinforce the professional contribution of staffwhich will become even more important as we modernise andmove forward.I have enjoyed my role as President. I believe we have createda solid base for the continued development of hockey as oneof the world’s leading sports. However, I recognise there ismore to do and I will concentrate on that in the next two yearswith the support of everyone in the hockey community.Leandro NegreFIH President4 5

Honorary Secretary GeneralINTRODUCTIONThe past two years have witnessed significant changes,achievements and developments in the FIH. The 41st OrdinaryCongress witnessed a change in the Presidency with LeandroNegre of Spain being elected in a close contest with Els vanBreda Vriesman, who had been President since 2000. In herterm as President, Els made an enormous contribution to theFIH and I would like to record my appreciation and thanks toEls for her efforts and dedication to the FIH over many years,in so many different ways, not just in her term of office asPresident.The organisation of the 41st Congress, held in Los Angeles,USA, was extremely successful and our thanks and appreciationare extended to the USA Field Hockey Association for takingon this responsibility and for making the Congress and all theassociated activities an enjoyable and productive experience.The Hero Honda FIH World Cup Men 2010 held in Delhi,India, in February/March, 2010, also witnessed a fundamentalchange in the approach to marketing the sport through themedium of our world level events. The World Cup producedmajor sponsorships for world hockey on an ongoing basiswhich it is expected will enable FIH to have significantly morefunds to invest in the growth and development of the sport.Administratively, there have been major changes in theprofessional staff employed in Lausanne. In addition, at the42nd Ordinary Congress to be held in Montreux, Switzerland,in November, 2010, the Executive Board will make proposalsto the members to make significant changes to the Statutesdesigned to streamline the work of the Executive Board.ADMINISTRATIONExecutive BoardBy the time of the 42nd Congress, the Executive Board willhave met on 8 occasions as follows:26 & 30 November, 2008 Los Angeles, USA27 & 28 February, 2009 Lausanne, Switzerland3 & 4 July, 2009 Lausanne, Switzerland4 & 5 December, 2009 Melbourne, Australia14 & 15 March, 2010 Delhi, India17, 18 & 19 July, 2010 Nottingham, England11 November, 2010 Montreux, SwitzerlandAcknowledgmentThe members of the Executive Board, including the OfficeBearers, have worked tirelessly to discharge their duties and,on behalf of the Federation, I express our sincere appreciationto each and every one of them.I pay particular tribute to the Chairs of Committees and allCommittee members for their efforts over the last two years.So much of the success of the work of the FIH depends onthe Committees and their Chairs and the record of the pasttwo years is testament to the time and effort they have givento their work.Jean Pierre StrebelJean Pierre accepted the position of Hon Treasurer at acritical time in the evolution of the FIH. He came to us atthe time the decision had been made to relocate the office toLausanne and there were many issues that were required tobe managed as a result of the change in location. Jean Pierreresided in Lausanne and his knowledge of Swiss regulationsand requirements enabled the move and the transition to beeffected without any problems.In addition, Jean Pierre oversaw the management of thefinances of the FIH during his term of office. His knowledgeand expertise proved invaluable to the FIH, especially theworkings of the Executive Board, and I record our appreciationfor his short but very valuable contribution to FIH.Bob DavidzonFollowing the decision to hold the Hero Honda FIH World Cupin India in 2010 and to undertake the Project ‘Promoting IndianHockey’, Bob Davidzon accepted appointment as the officialFIH representative to oversee and manage these projects.In his usual efficient manner, Bob undertook the tasks withgreat enthusiasm and set the framework for these importantprojects.Following the 41st Congress in November, 2008, Bob advisedthat he was no longer able to continue in this role and hisresignation was accepted with regret and with appreciation forall the work he had done.STAFFThe most significant changes in the administration haveoccurred in the professional team in Lausanne.Christophe TroendleDuring the Executive Board meeting in Delhi in March, 2010,Christophe informed us of his decision to retire as the DirectorGeneral. Christophe served FIH for a period of a little morethan two years. During that time he performed his duties withdedication. He brought particular expertise to the areas ofmarketing and strategic planning. On behalf of the FIH I thankhim for all his efforts and extend our best wishes to him forhis future.Dennis & Olga MeredithThe Meredith team served FIH for some ten years, Dennis asCompetitions Manager and Olga as an assistant in the office.From the moment Dennis commenced his duties, he redefinedthe role of the Competitions Manager and establishedstandards of efficiency and competency of the highestorder. He performed his duties without regard to time orinconvenience to himself and made an invaluable contributionto the technical organisation of tournaments and the work ofthe Competitions Committee. The standards Dennis set willbe followed for many years to come and there are no wordsto adequately acknowledge the tremendous contribution hemade to the FIH.In support of Dennis and the workings of the FIH office, Olgaalso made a useful contribution and her presence in the officeis missed.We wish both Dennis and Olga well in their retirement.Hans-Jochen ErbHans-Jochen has indicated that he will be leaving the FIH atthe end of 2010 having joined in late 2007 in the new roleof Events Director. He brought valuable sponsorship andmarketing experience to the FIH. During his time with us,Hans-Jochen has influenced the way we service our sponsors,has helped to shape the new rights packages for events andhas led some of our recent branding strategy. We wish Hans-Jochen well for the future.Nicole DelaloyeShortly before the Executive Board meeting in Nottingham inJuly, 2010, Nicole informed us that for personal reasons shewas not able to continue in her employment. Nicole was thefirst Operations Manager of the FIH. The position was createdin an endeavour to improve the efficiency of the workings ofthe FIH. Nicole went about her duties in her quiet and pleasantmanner and by the time of her retirement had established anexcellent working knowledge of the administration and herduties. She was a great help to me.On behalf of the FIH I wish Nicole well in her future, especiallyovercoming the challenges that she has been presented with.Arjen MeijerArjen joined the FIH as Communications Manager in August,2006. The work of the Communications Manager is criticallyimportant to the whole process of communication bothwithin the FIH and also externally. Arjen has worked withthe Communications Committee to streamline and improvethe communication network and has assisted in setting thefoundations for the future in this regard.Arjen leaves FIH to take up a position in Montreux. On behalfof the FIH I extend our thanks to Arjen for all his work andwish him well in his future endeavours.Borbala de RoosBorbala joined FIH in 2007 as Events and MarketingAssistant and during her two years with us made an importantcontribution to the improvement and professionalisation ofour sponsor servicing, sponsor rights’ implementation andgeneral marketing activities. Furthermore, Borbala led theFIH contribution to the Zambia IOC Sport for Hope project tosuccessful completion with her extraordinary efforts.Continuing StaffWith all these changes and with the growing business ofthe FIH, the demands on the staff and the office are everincreasing. Our staff have applied themselves to their tasksand the challenges that present on a daily basis in a warm andfriendly manner and with dedication and application and theyshould all know that their efforts are very much appreciatedand valued.I particularly want to acknowledge the efforts of Roger Webbat this stage. With Christophe’s retirement and the time lag inthe new CEO taking up his position, Roger agreed to accept6 7

the position and responsibilities of acting Director General. Ihave known Roger for many years and know him to be a mosthighly respected and competent employee of the FIH. Weall greatly appreciate and value the manner in which he hasapplied himself to the task and the extremely competent wayin which he filled the void.Kelly FairweatherOn behalf of the FIH I extend a very warm welcome to Kellyas the CEO of the Federation. Kelly is no stranger to us. Kellycomes to us with a strong hockey and sporting background.Between 1991 and 1999, Kelly held various positions inSouth African Hockey, including as national coach. In 2003,Kelly became the IOC Director of Sport, a position he heldfor four years. He then returned to South Africa for a shortperiod of time following which he accepted an appointmentwith WADA as Director of the European Office and Relationswith International Federations.As part of the process, the Executive Board is proposingto Congress that the title of the position be changed fromDirector General to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and that theCEO becomes a full (voting) member of the Executive Board.This recognises the importance of the role of the office andrecognises that FIH has reached this important stage in itsdevelopment.I extend the warmest welcome to Kelly and wish him greatsuccess in his new role working for hockey. I pledge my fullestsupport to Kelly in all his endeavours.Martyn GallivanMartyn took over as Competition Manager and started workingon 6 April 2010. He is Chartered Civil Engineer by professionand a former local government head of a large multi-disciplineTechnical Services department. Martyn is a former Grade1 international umpire in both outdoor and indoor hockeyand since his retirement from umpiring, has been active asa Technical Official at international tournaments.

This included a key role on the organisingcommittee of the Samsung Indoor Hockey World Cup Vienna2007 and two years of working for the EuroHockey League,as well as project work for various national associations. Shealso has hockey experience as a player, tournament official,volunteer, and journalist.AcknowledgmentI wish to place on record my personal appreciation and theappreciation and thanks of the Federation, especially theOffice Bearers, Executive Board, the Committee Chairs andthe Committees, to all the FIH staff for the dedication theyhave demonstrated over the last two years, often underconsiderable pressure. They have maintained their reputationas a friendly and helpful team and have contributed significantlyto the successful work of the FIH during the last two years.STRATEGIC PLANNINGThe Executive Board devotes a considerable amount of itstime to the continued development and implementation of theStrategic Plan under the guidance of the Strategic PlanningTask Force comprising Sue Neill, Theo Ykema, Roger Webband Christophe Troendle, until his retirement.The quality and value of the work done by the Task Force is ofthe highest order and they are to be complemented on theirwork. This is a vitally important document for the FIH but itmust become a better measurement of progress. This is anaspect of the planning process that is receiving the attentionof the Task Force so that, in the near future, the Board and thewhole Federation will be able to assess progress.A recent review of the plan has placed as a top priority to treblethe FIH revenues by the year 2016. This is a considerablechallenge and to succeed will require the concentrated effortsof all elements comprising the FIH. The main vehicle to achievethis ambitious goal is the major FIH tournaments and muchwork has been done over the last two years, but particularlythe last six months, to examine ways and means of conductingtournaments that are more commercially successful. In thisregard, see my comments later in relation to the Hero HondaFIH World Cup, the India project, new FIH world level eventand the World Club Championship.The objective is not to increase revenue just for the sake ofhaving more money but to provide the finances necessary tomarket, promote and develop the sport worldwide.GOVERNANCEThe way in which the FIH manages its business has evolvedover many years, with considerable success. However,times are changing and the Executive Board, in recognisingits obligation to all our stakeholders and in the interests ofopenness and transparency, has been developing a set ofgovernance principles dealing with all aspects of the way inwhich the administration operates.A first draft has been presented to the Board and initialcomments have been received. A further draft will beconsidered by the Board at its meetings in November inMontreux with the intention that a final document will beapproved, either in November or at the first meeting of theBoard in 2011.CONTINENTAL FEDERATIONSThe Strategic Planning Task Force has been working veryclosely with the Continental Federations to assist the CFs inthe development of their strategic plans and to ensure thatthere is consistency between the FIH strategic plan and theplans of the CFs.As part of this process, in consultation with the CFs aMemorandum of Understanding has been drafted detailingthe areas of responsibility of the FIH and the CFs and theinterface between the FIH and the CFs.This is an ongoing process and further reports will be presentedas the process evolves.It is extremely pleasing to note that the CFs continue withconsiderable success in their efforts to promote and develophockey in the respective continents. The relationships betweenthe FIH and the CFs are successful and productive and givegreat confidence in the growth and development of hockeythroughout the world.RESTRUCTUREOne of the main subjects to be considered at the 42ndCongress is a proposal to restructure the Executive Board,particularly to reduce its composition to a workable numberand to enhance its efficiency. The proposal is the result ofmany months work and will be presented to Congress as aunanimous recommendation of the Executive Board.The proposal will result in a Board of seventeen members.The positions of Vice Presidents and Hon Treasurer will bediscontinued and the CEO will become a full (voting) memberof the Board. Furthermore, the chairs of Committees will nolonger be members of the Executive Board.Issues such as the interface between the Executive Board andthe Committees and between the FIH and the CFs and alsothe issue of communication within the FIH will be defined in8 9

the governance principles. The issue of communication, bothinternally and externally, is seen as an area requiring majorimprovement.We live in a dynamic world and these changes reflect theneed to make significant improvements in all aspects of theactivities of the Executive Board.The role of the Vice Presidents has been extremely importantover the history of the FIH. If the changes envisaged by theproposed restructure of the Executive Board are approved, theposition of Vice President will be discontinued. In that case, it isentirely appropriate that I acknowledge the outstanding effortsof all previous Vice Presidents but particularly the two currentVice Presidents, Antonio von Ondarza and Annabel Dillon.Both Tony and Annabel have made a significant contribution tothe work of the Federation and have been a very great supportto Presidents Leandro and Els and also to myself.the office for very long, nevertheless I want to place on recordour appreciation for all his efforts.The reduction in the composition of the Board inevitably resultsin the term of office of some ordinary members also coming toan end. Aaron Sher, B J Shin, and Claire Peters have advisedthat they will not stand for re-election. I want to thank themall for their contribution. BJ was instrumental in securingSamsung as an FIH global sponsor and we will be eternallygrateful to him for that important initiative. Aaron has capablychaired the Communications & IT Committee for a number ofyears and has also made a valuable contribution at the Boardtable. Claire has been a member of the DCC for several years.On behalf of the Federation I express our sincere thanks tothem all. Hopefully they will not be lost to hockey or the FIHand that in some capacity they will all remain involved.MARKETING / TOURNAMENTSI am sure the Congress will record their appreciation in theappropriate manner.During the discussions on the subject, Board members werechallenged to put their personal views to one side and to focuson the main issue, namely, what is best for the Federation. AllBoard members committed to this principle and they are tobe acknowledged for this. The effect on some members wasmuch greater than others and I specifically acknowledge theChairs of Committees who supported the proposals in theknowledge that, by doing so, they would cease to be membersof the Board.The past two years established beyond doubt (if there wasany) that successful marketing initiatives are inextricably linkedwith the top level FIH tournaments. The final proof came withthe successful sponsorships of the Hero Honda FIH WorldCup Men 2010 played in Delhi in February/March.The title sponsor of the World Cup, Hero Honda, andsupporting partner, the Steel Authority of India, returned to FIHand hockey the largest sponsorship revenue ever achieved byFIH. Furthermore, both sponsors indicated that they wantedtop level tournaments to be held annually in India, and wantedto take up the sponsorships that would follow.The changes in the composition of the Executive Board, ifapproved, will result in the terms of office of some memberscoming to an end. If so, the office of Vice Presidents andHonorary Treasurer will be discontinued. In that case bothTony von Ondarza and Annabel Dillon will relinquish theirpositions as Vice Presidents and members of the ExecutiveBoard as will Fernando Riba.The role of the Vice Presidents has been very important overa very long period of time. Both Tony and Annabel carriedout their duties with distinction and on behalf of all membersof the Executive Board and indeed all members of the FIH Ithank them for their valuable contribution. Similarly, the role ofthe Hon Treasurer has been long standing. The Hon Treasurerhas been responsible for the management of the Federation’sfinances, a very onerous task. Although Fernando has not heldDuring the World Cup, approaches were made to FIH bycompanies from other parts of the world, in conjunction withtheir National Associations, also expressing interest in takingup title sponsorship opportunities for top tier tournaments intheir countries.There has been considerable discussion over recent yearsat the Executive Board to create a more consistent calendarof tournaments and to allocate those tournaments further inadvance. The discussion came to a head during the meetingof the Executive Board held in Delhi at the time of the WorldCup. The outcome was inconclusive so I proposed to KenRead that we should convene a special meeting to resolve theissue once and for all.My proposal was accepted both by Ken and the President11

and a meeting was accordingly convened in Singapore on27 May 2010. The outcome of this meeting was a clearrecommendation to the Executive Board to approve a newcompetition (name yet to be decided) to be held in the non-Olympic and non-World Cup years. The Executive Boardunanimously approved this new proposal during its meetingheld in Nottingham, England, in July and the end result is that,beginning in 2012 when the new competition will commence,the number of FIH tournaments and consequently the numberof commercial opportunities will be significantly increased.National Associations interested in hosting tournaments havebeen invited to submit their bids and, during the Congressweek in Montreux in November, interviews with the applicantswill be conducted with the aim of making recommendations tothe Executive Board so that the Board can allocate the hostsof the tournaments to be held over the next four years.In evaluating the bids, the Executive Board will give a high levelof weight to the commercial aspects of each bid, especially theopportunity to secure sponsorships over an extended periodof time. As mentioned above, the major sponsors of the HeroHonda FIH World Cup indicated then and have subsequentlyconfirmed that they are interested in sponsoring tournamentson an annual basis and the Executive Board is confidentthat it can not only conclude an agreement with the Indiancompanies but that sponsors in other parts of the world willalso be interested in making similar agreements.A year or two ago, FIH received an expression of interest tohold a world club competition. This was also raised with usduring discussions with the sponsors of the Hero Honda FIHWorld Cup and it appears possible that, in the next year or twoFIH will introduce a world club competition. Early indicationsfrom National Associations indicate a high level of interest inthis competition so, provided it can be financially viable, thereis every likelihood that this new concept of world competitionwill become a reality and will provide another opportunity topromote and market the sport in a new and different way.OLYMPIC GAMES, LONDON, 2012After the enormous global success Games of the IXXXOlympiad in Beijing in 2008, any country hosting thenext Olympic and Paralympic Games was going to have amammoth task in following the standards set by the Chinese.The downturn in the global economy has only made this taskharder, but the efforts of the London Organising Committee ofthe Olympic Games (LOCOG), under the dynamic leadershipof Lord Sebastian Coe, have been impressive to say the least.FIH has been working closely with LOCOG since the Gameswere awarded to London in July 2005. The developmentof Olympic Park in Stratford in the east of London, is one ofthe most ambitious regeneration projects undertaken. Thehockey stadium will be one of the landmark sites of OlympicPark, being next to the main northern entrance of the parkand opposite the vast media centre. Because it is close tothe entrance, the development of the hockey stadium is oneof the last major building projects for London 2012 but theplans, which have recently gained necessary permissions, areimpressive. I have no doubt that we will have a venue thatis worthy of the largest global event and that it will leave asignificant legacy for hockey in this part of Great Britain.OLYMPIC GAMES 2016From the moment that the IOC took the decision to awardthe 2016 Olympic Games to Brazil, FIH commenced workto prepare the Brazil Hockey Federation (BHF) and Brazilianhockey to meet the challenge. Although hockey is establishedin Brazil, the standard and level of competition is not at thisstage at a sufficiently high level to merit qualification by theBrazilian teams.At the Executive Board meeting held in July, the Boardappointed a small working group to consider the strategy andthe resources needed to bring hockey in Brazil to a level thatwould merit qualification of both the men’s and women’s teamsto participate in the Games. The aim is of this working groupis to prepare an MOU between FIH and the BHF detailinga strategy, the resources required and the performanceindicators necessary to bring Brazilian hockey to the requisitestandard. The Pan Am Hockey Federation is a very importantpartner in this process as well and may also be a party to theMOU.A first report of the working group will be presented to theExecutive Board during its meetings in Montreux in November.The clear policy of the FIH, fully supported by the PAHF, is tobring Brazilian hockey to a standard sufficient to enable boththe Brazilian men’s and women’s teams to qualify to participatein the 2016 Olympic Games.AWARDSThe “Spirit of Sport” Award was presented by the InternationalSports Federations of Sportaccord on 30 April 2010 in Dubaito Tony von Ondarza for his lifelong commitment to hockey andsport in general.BEREAVEMENTSHE Juan Antonio Samaranch, FIH Member of Honour andIOC Honorary PresidentJuan Antonio Samaranch was the architect of a unifiedOlympic movement.

We have alwaysstriven to maintain the highest standards that are synonymouswith hockey but have always been on the lookout for innovation.The forthcoming restructure of FIH competitions will give newopportunities in this area. The blend of professional staff andvolunteers that is a characteristic of hockey continues to beone of the ongoing success stories of the FIH. The newinnovations that are being explored will place further pressureon current resources and the fantastic partnership of staff andvolunteers that exists.Earlier this year, Dennis Meredith retired as FIH’s CompetitionsManager after some 9 years in post. During that timeDennis has taken the organisation and presentation of FIHtournaments to its highest ever level, and for that alone,FIH owes him a great debt of gratitude. It would be normalto wish him a long and happy retirement but I know that heis unlikely to stay still for very long. Indeed, he has used hisconsiderable experience and talents to ensure that the hockeycompetitions in both the Singapore Youth Olympics and theDelhi Commonwealth Games were run with the efficiency thatFIH has come to expect during his tenure. Martyn Gallivan hastaken over from Dennis and is bringing his own distinctive style30 31

to the post. I would also wish to highlight and thank RichardWilson for the support and assistance that he continues togive to Competitions as well as to his busy role as UmpiringManager.My Committee is a very hard working one and each of themembers make an individualistic and significant contributionto this core area of FIH’s work. This is a very public opportunityfor me to thank them all for their contribution and support overthe past two years.Finally, we should never forget that without hosts, there wouldbe no tournaments. We must recognise and pay a mostspecial and warm thank you to those National Associationsand Continental Federations who have hosted tournamentsand co-operated magnificently over the past two years.

Development & CoachingCommitteeKey Highlights• Continued Success of FIH Continental Development Officer (CDO) Network• 90 National Associations (NA) working with a Strategic Plan• 1st ever Global Player Statistics produced• Coaching Courses &Resources• Increase in Olympic Solidarity Coaching Projects• Many coaches profiting from FIH Coach Education programmes• 30 National Associations (NA) joining the “Magic Tricks” and the “It’s All in the Game” Youth Challenge• 5th FIH Youth Promoters Festival successful event in Mönchengladbach• Many Umpiring Courses /Workshops organized with FIH supportA survey on Global Player statistics was carried out by our CDOs in 2009. This was to determine the position and needs of our key stakeholders – our NAs. The results were collated by the Development Manager and indicated 77 % of NAs under 5000 players, 62% under2000 ,52% under 1000 and 33 % under 500 players.It is clear from this that the vast majority of our membership still needs help and support from the FIH to ensure that they survive byworking with sound structures and sustainable hockey development programmes. There is still much work to be done by the DCC!The Development and Coaching Committee (DCC) has alwaysrecognised that its responsibilities included global, continentaland national development. Given that every ContinentalFederation and every National Association are on differentpoints of the “development continuum” it is inevitable that eachhas different priorities, different needs and will require specificsupport depending on where they are on the continuum. Thiswill range from basic “start up“ programmes for young people,resources i.e. sticks and balls, to coaching and umpiringsupport for more developed NAs, and for everyone moreappropriate competition.To deliver “tailor made” support for our NAs, we have, under thedirection and coordination of the FIH Development Manager,developed an excellent network of five part time ContinentalDevelopment Officers. These officers work closely with NAswithin their Continents and through regular contact – oftenface to face meetings, they are able to identify the needs oftheir NAs and offer them specific support. More importantlythey have been able to identify and create good relationshipswith the volunteers and the few professionals who makehockey happen in the majority of our NAs. Over the past twoyears support has been given to over 70 NAs spread over the5 continents.The ongoing success of the development programmes canbe attributed to our staff, Development Manager Gabrielle vanDoorn, Coaching Manager Tayyab Ikram, Umpire DevelopmentManager Richard Wilson and the Five Continental DevelopmentOfficers, Gill Gemming (Oceania), Norman Hughes (Europe),Richard Akpokavie (Africa), Tayyab Ikram (Asia) and JorgeQuerejeta (Pan America).Thank you all for your commitment, enthusiasm and passion todevelop our sport.DevelopmentFocus has been put in 2009 and 2010 on:- National Strategic Planning: At the start of 2008 - 29 NAshad a kind of plan. Due to the efforts of the CDO network& FIH Development Manager, 95 NAs were by 1 August2010 working with a National Strategic Plan, creating agood base for structural and durable development.- Global Player Analysis: A first global player analysis wasundertaken in November 2009, using the figures of theNSPs.

The scheme thereby protects theinterests of pitch owners and users when fields are purchased.Details of the scheme were circulated to licensed turfmanufacturers in the middle of 2010 and development optionsreviewed in the second half of the year.BallsWe have been concerned for some time that there is currentlyonly one ball approved for use in FIH events whereas a choiceof suppliers would serve hockey better. Other manufacturersare interested in acquiring approval of a ball but they find itdifficult to measure one of the key technical specificationsin their factory during production runs. This concerns thecomplex requirement for the centre of gravity to coincide withthe centre of mass. Investigations are underway to identifywhether this test can be replaced with a much simpler ballroll distance and deviation test while ensuring the same ballquality.SticksA new specification has been drawn up which will deal withexcessive rake/bow.

Hockey Rules BoardCOMMITTEEChairMr David COLLIER (England)Key Highlights• The introduction of the self-pass from a free hit has created more tactical options and enabled many free hits to betaken quickly• Time-outs have proved a success in indoor hockey• The penalty corner Rules have been intensively reviewed and the conclusion drawn that there are no compellingreasons to change them although further trials will take place• The game worldwide should be played to a single, common set of Rules although the Hockey Rules Board will adviseon variations which are justified in specified circumstances such as at FIH world-level eventsThe Rules are a key way in which the game develops and it Penalty Corneris notable that changes which first took effect in the last two The penalty corner is a special characteristic of hockey butyears have significantly improved the sport both from a playing concerns about its impact on match results and about safetyand spectating perspective.often arise. The HRB therefore established a taskforce in2009 to review the penalty corner intensively.Taking account of the issues referred to above, the HRBconcluded that there are no compelling reasons to change thepenalty corner Rules.Rules of Indoor HockeyThe free hit self-pass Rule was also implemented for indoorhockey in 2009. In addition, time-outs were introduced.Feedback was good with the proviso that incorporation oftime-outs in a match is strongly recommended but may bevaried in national or local regulations. The “time out “ Rule willalso therefore become a full Rule of Indoor Hockey with effectfrom 2011.SecretaryMr Roger WEBB (FIH)MembersMr Richard AKPOKAVIE (Ghana)Mr Jorge ALCOVER (Spain)Mrs Petsuda CHIENTIENTHONG (THA)Mr Eric DONEGANI (Canada)Mr Peter ELDERS (Netherlands)Mrs Margaret HUNNABALL (England)Mr Michael KRAUSE (Germany)Mr Alain RENAUD (France)Mr Pargat SINGH (India)Mr Peter VON RETH (Netherlands)Rules of Hockey with effect from 2009A major development in 2009 was the introduction of the“self-pass” from a free hit. This essentially permits the playertaking a free hit to pass to themselves instead of passing to ateammate to restart play. This has given the team taking a freehit more tactical options and has meant that many free hits aretaken more quickly than before. As a result we are gettingmore real playing time instead of the stoppages which usuallyoccur after a free hit has been awarded.When this change was being considered, the Hockey RulesBoard was concerned that a free hit taken just outside thecircle by the attacking team might lead to dangerous play in acrowded circle. Indeed, there was broader concern about freehits being directed hard and speculatively into the circle. Anassociated Rule change therefore specified that an attackingfree hit awarded within five metres of the circle to the attackmust be taken at the nearest point five metres from the circle.Initially, there was a concern that this might slow the gamedown or disadvantage the attacking team. However, onceplayers got used the Rule this did not happen significantly andthe avoidance of danger was more important.This shows that Rules changes do sometimes take a little timeto settle down. This is one of the reasons why significant Ruleschanges are initially included as “mandatory experimentalRules”. After a period of review they can be included as full,formal Rules which is what will happen to the Rules mentionedabove with effect from 2011.The taskforce analysed the penalty corner with special regardto: whether the punishment fits the crime; alternative matchscoring and result systems; potential danger. Assessing the fitbetween the “punishment” and the “crime” essentially requiresa comparison of the effects of offences and of sanctions. Thisis sometimes expressed as a concern that a penalty corneris too severe a penalty for a minor offence. However, it isnotable that, according to the analysis conducted, the overallscoring rate from penalty corners is not excessive and there isno undue impact on match results.A detailed objective analysis was also undertaken by thetaskforce of the effect on match results in top level matchesif two points were awarded for a field goal and one pointfor a penalty corner goal. This would have resulted in someundesirably high “scores” (eg 16-1, 14-3) but would rarelyhave resulted in a different winner of a match. An alternativematch scoring system is not therefore desirable.With regard to danger, the biggest potential is probably froma deflected shot which is not therefore directly related to thepenalty corner Rules. Otherwise, there is little evidence ofdanger directly from a penalty corner although we wouldappreciate additional information from member associations ofany evidence below International level of objective informationavailable. Anecdotal evidence tends to originate from top levelhockey but at this level the strikers are skilled at placing a shotand defenders are skilled at anticipating it. There is a concern,however, about the perceived (ie if not always real) danger andundesirable image created by defenders wearing face masks.In addition, the HRB noted that there is no strong desire forchange to the penalty corner among players and coaches.Developing the RulesThe Rules changes referred to above show that the HockeyRules Board is keen for the game to develop in appropriateways. Ideas and suggestions are therefore always welcome.Some ideas require trials and experience. However, the HRBis concerned that the game worldwide should be played tosingle, common, set of Rules. Continental and NationalAssociations who wish to introduce local regulations whichvary the Rules of Hockey are therefore strongly advised toseek approval from the FIH through the HRB.Having said that, the HRB recognises that variations to theRules can sometimes be desirable in specified circumstancesfor example at world level tournaments where there is a largetelevision audience. The number of exemptions should be verylimited and the HRB works closely with the FIH CompetitionsCommittee to specify the Rules-related regulations whichapply in FIH events.FIH Strategic PrioritiesThe achievement of the FIH Strategic Plan for 2011 andbeyond will only succeed if the game is played in an attractiveand enjoyable way. The Hockey Rules Board will thereforeplay a key role by monitoring the Rules and ensuring that anynecessary changes enhance our sport.David CollierChairman58 59

The others include failure to apply for TherapeuticUse Exemptions (TUEs) or a general lack of awareness ofdoping requirements. Overall, we are therefore pleased thatWorld Anti-Doping Codethere continues to be no evidence of the systematic use ofA new Code came into effect from 1 January 2009.

This is an important resource especially for oursmaller hockey nations.The Medical Committee’s draft plan for 2010 included aproposal for a medical science seminar. It is an importantfunction of the committee and of FIH more generally toprovide advice and support on such matters especially forthe second and lower tier nations. A seminar would focuson updating member nations with possible sessions on sportsmedicine related to hockey, psychology in hockey preparation,the science behind hockey injuries, the Olympic Medical Code,sports nutrition and anti-doping issues.A seminar has therefore been an aim for some time but hasbeen thwarted by a lack of a budget allocation. It is hopedthat as FIH revenues increase, funds will soon be available toenable the Medical Committee to fulfil its role in this respect.Medical Officers at FIH tournament also play an important partin providing advice and information. We therefore continue torevise and extend the briefing materials they use at events.We also acknowledge the services they provide which arekey to the health and welfare of our players and officialsat tournaments and therefore thank them warmly for theircontribution to our game.Safety and Injury DataIt is important that key aspects of the work of the MedicalCommittee are backed up by reliable and meaningful data.In the second half of 2010 we therefore looked at ways ofimproving feedback from FIH tournaments and hope to roll outrevised data collection procedures in the next period.Strategic DirectionsThe Medical Committee acknowledges that it is not a keydriver in the FIH’s strategic aims. However, the health andwelfare of our athletes and officials is of prime importanceand the Committee will continue to regard this as its overridingconcern.Peter Wefers BettinkChairmanSecretaryMr Roger WEBB (FIH)MembersDr S.

Umpiring CommitteeCOMMITTEEChairMr Ermanno SILVANO (Italy)Key Highlights• Umpire and Umpire Manager Development at International level, including a Seminar for FIH Umpire Managers heldin Delhi (IND) in February 2010• Taskforce formations for various Umpiring Committee Projects, including a new Umpire Marking system introduced inJuly 2010Umpire and Umpire Manager Development atInternational levelThe prime objectives of the Umpiring Committee are toincrease the number and quality of International Umpires andUmpires Managers. We continue to look for ways in which wecan create more development and upgrading opportunitiesfor Umpires, both on a National and International level (inaddition to those afforded by our normal FIH appointments).Umpire Managers are also an important part of this equationin that they are responsible for the coaching of Umpires atTournaments.FIH Open Places – the arrangement with EHF to providedevelopment and upgrading opportunities at their Tournamentsfor promising Umpires from other Continental Federationshas now been extended to include Indoor, as well as Outdoor,Hockey.FIH Umpire Manager Appointments to 3 & 4 Nations InvitationalTournaments - normally the only official appointments that FIHmake are those of Tournament Directors and Neutral Umpires.Formal or informal agreements have been reached with HostOrganisers so that the vast majority of such Tournaments havehad Umpire Managers appointed either from the FIH UmpireManagers List or from qualified local Officials.FIH Umpire Managers List Continental Section - it has beenrecognised that there are a number of potential UmpireManagers who do not meet the current requirement of havingbeen an FIH International Grade 1 Umpire. Given the numberof Tournaments in some Continental Federations, a secondarylist – a Continental section - where this requirement is relaxedhas been adopted. This has resulted in a list comprising 13Continental Section UMs (Men - 2 from Africa and 4 fromEurope; Women - 5 from Europe and 2 from PanAm) of which4 are also listed for Indoor Hockey.Seminar for FIH Umpire Managers - an FIH Umpire ManagersSeminar was held in Delhi (IND), in conjunction with the Men’sWorld Cup, over the period 7-9 March 2010. The objectiveof the Seminar was to ensure that a specially selectedgroup of 20 FIH Umpire Managers and Trainees (12 Menand 8 Women) have the necessary tools and information toenable a consistent worldwide approach at Tournaments.The Seminar lead Conductor was Ray O’Connor and theprogramme featured presentations by Ken Read (the WorldCup Tournament Director) and Clive McMurray and Don Prior(the World Cup Umpire Managers). There were sessions onthe newly proposed Umpire Marking System, pre-TournamentBriefings and Video Umpire, as well as various Workshopson Umpire Assessment, how to conduct Umpire MatchReviews and discussions on how Umpire Management can beprogressed and improved.Taskforce FormationsThe new Umpiring Committee was formed in February 2009.Subsequent meetings over the past 18 months have resultedin the formation of various small Taskforces to try and developspecific Committee projects:• The Taskforce reviewing the Umpire Marking Systemcompleted all of its preparatory work earlier this year. Thenew system came into operation for all Tournaments at FIHand Continental levels with effect from 1 July 2010. Theobjectives and intended outcomes are as follows: -o To move from a pure performance based system to acareer based system of assessmento To indicate to an Umpire where they are in their careerdevelopment plano To indicate what qualities/experiences are needed to goto the next level/so To assist Assessors to ‘mark’ an Umpire by providing aguide of what to look for in guiding an Umpire’s careerand/or judging a performanceo To assist the Umpiring and Appointments Committeesin the appointment of Umpires to various Tournamentsby being more ‘intentional’ in the reasoning behindappointment proposals and nominationsAs a consequence of the new Marking System, TournamentDirectors in co-ordination with their Umpire Managers,now advise Umpires of their Overall Mark at the endof each Tournament. The ‘language’ used in the newMarking System is consistent with that used in the UmpirePerformance Feedback Form, with the intention that thisshould suitably describe their Tournament performance and,more importantly, give a clear indication of where they standin terms of their career development• Following the launch of the new Umpire Marking System, anUmpire Managers Taskforce has now turned its attention tothe formal classification of our current Umpire Manager Listinto groups based upon their capabilities. It is anticipatedthat will proceed upon similar lines to the new UmpireMarking System, with the aim again being a more objectivecareer based approach• An Appointments Taskforce, comprising the Chairmanand the 5 Continental Federation representatives on theCommittee, is now well established with all appointmentproposals for Umpires and Umpire Managers beingconsidered by this group prior to these nominations beingforwarded to the Appointments Committee• In considering the FIH International Umpires list, we are awarethat we have a shortage of Women Umpires in comparisonto the Men. The work of the Taskforce looking into thedevelopment of Women Umpires led to the identification ofa pool of Umpires for potential appointment to this year’sWorld Cup Qualifiers and World Cup. The overall aim of thisTaskforce is to identify and develop a full pool of WomenUmpires in preparation for the 2012 Olympic Games• A further Taskforce is looking into the provision of a webbased video resources database for Umpires and UmpireManagers. The start up work for this is currently proceedingUmpiring Committee Objectives and the FIH StrategicPlanThe work of the FIH Umpiring Committee is directly related tothe FIH’s Strategic Priorities of:1. Raising of the profile of FIH and Hockey worldwide2. Enhancing and rationalising the International competitionschedule3.
