FIH Men's World Ranking
The teams of the member nations of International Hockey Federation (FIH), field hockey's world governing body, are ranked based on their game results and performance.The rankings were introduced to overcome the criticism of fixing when drawing the pools for each tournament.It also determines the quotas for tournaments such as the Olympic Games and the World Cup.Africa was the sole continent with neither men's or women's tournaments having full points allocation regardless of the classifications.From 2020 onwards, the FIH rolled out a new match-based world rankings system similar to the ones being used in rugby union and association football.
