Landhockey

Landhockey is a variant of field hockey played on land, typically in a grassy field or a similar surface. It is a popular sport in many countries, particularly in Europe and South America. The game is played with a ball and two sticks, one for each player. The objective is to score goals by hitting the ball into the opponent's goal using the stick. The game is played in two halves, each lasting 35 minutes, with a 10-minute halftime break. Landhockey is played with seven players on each side, including a goalkeeper. The rules of the game are similar to those of field hockey, with some variations such as the use of a different type of ball and the absence of certain penalties. The sport has a rich history and is governed by international organizations such as the International Federation of Land Hockey Associations (FILHA). Landhockey is a physically demanding sport that requires skill, strategy, and teamwork. It is enjoyed by players of all ages and skill levels, and is a popular spectator sport.
