The Romanian Field Hockey Federation is the national governing body for the sport of field hockey in Romania. Considered as an aristocratic sport and little known to Romanian public, field hockey popularity has grown in the past years. At the youth level, there were 13 teams and over 200 registered players in 2009. Hockey is played mostly at the youth level owing to the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee's support of the sport for those aged under 18. However, because of the expenses and lack of investors' interest, there are currently no senior teams or competitions.
