The Netherlands has had the most wins – nine world cup titles so far. At the Summer Olympics, the situation is a bit different: India has won eight golds so far at men’s Olympic tournaments, and at women’s competitions, the Netherlands have won four titles so far. Based on the above, you might start thinking that field hockey is a popular sport in India, Pakistan, the Netherlands, Argentina, or Germany. The only exception here is the Netherlands. As a geographically flat area, the entire country makes for a perfect field hockey pitch. Combined with a sporty, outgoing lifestyle that most Dutch people lead, it’s logical that this country cherishes a long field hockey tradition.
