		Field hockey is the oldest known ball-and-stick game and is believed to date from the earliest civilizations, although there is no conclusive evidence of exactly how and where the game began.
		After modern field hockey had developed in the British Isles in the late 19th century, it spread throughout the British Empire, largely due to the British army and this is one reason why India, Pakistan and Australia are so formidable (all were British colonies).
		Today, field hockey is played all over the world by a variety of countries and field hockey is currently recognized as the second largest team sport in the world, just behind soccer.
