Field hockey is a popular sport for men and women in many countries around the world. In most countries in which ice hockey is not very prominent, it is simply known as hockey. The International Hockey Federation (FIH) is the international governing body of the field hockey. In 1975, the rules for men and women were published in a common rulebook for the first time, five years before women began Olympic field hockey competition. Generally, some changes have been made not just to improve the quality of play in terms of speed and skill, but also to ensure safety and respond to technical advances.

Olympic Field Hockey is defined as to hit the ball with an L-shaped stick into the opponent's goal, while the opposing goalkeeper tries to prevent the ball from going in the goal. Each game begins with a coin toss to determine which team will start the game with a "center pass" the other team will start the second 35-minute half in the same fashion.
Olympic Field Hockey Rules – Officiating
Two umpires are on the field throughout a match. When one penalizes a specific player for dangerous play, the player receives a green card for a warning, a yellow card for a suspension of at least five minutes and a red card for banishment from the game. Unlike football, a player may receive more than one card of the same color, although a second and subsequent card cannot be of a "lower" color than one previously issued, and in the case of a second yellow card the temporary suspension would be expected to be of considerably longer duration than the first.
However, local playing conditions may mandate that cards are awarded only progressively, and not allow second awards. Umpires have a good deal of discretion. They need not call a penalty if they believe the infraction has no bearing on the game.
