HOCKEY IN SOUTH AFRICA The South African Hockey Association (SAHA) was established in August 1992 when five major hockey bodies formed one non-racial, unified body which controls and regulates hockey for men and women in South Africa. The unification process brought together the South African Men's and Women's Hockey Associations, the South African Men's and Women's Hockey Congresses and the South African Women's Hockey Board. The SAHA is recognised by the National Department of Sport & Recreation, is a member of the National Olympic Committee of South Africa (NOCSA), is registered with the South African Sports Commission, the South African Commonwealth Games Association (SACGA), is a full member of both the International Hockey Federation (FIH) and the African Hockey Federation (AHF). Members of SAHA's Executive Board serve on various FIH, AHF and SACGA committees, ensuring representation at the highest possible level. Hockey has been played in South Africa for over one hundred years and is a thriving sport at school, tertiary, club and provincial level. The number of hockey players in South Africa is estimated at with the game being played in over 750 schools, 32 tertiary institutions and in all nine provinces. Over 20 national tournaments take place each year ranging from youth hockey to masters and veterans.
