Field Hockey / World Cup
MEN 
The World Cup is the gift of Pakistan to the hockey world. Colonel A.I.S. Dara, who played in the 1936 Berlin Games, and captained Pakistan in the 1948 London Games, first mooted the idea of the World Cup. The president of the Pakistan Hockey Federation, Air Marshal Nur Khan, also supported the idea and, on March 27, 1971 the formal presentation of the trophy by Pakistan to the FIH was made. Thus was the World Cup born, fulfilling the need of having a major competition between the Olympics. The pre-war atmosphere in Asia prevented either Pakistan or India to host the tournament, thus the honour of organising the first World Cup going to the city of Barcelona, Spain.
