The WMH is recognised by the International Hockey Federation (FIH) and is responsible for organising International Masters hockey globally.

"Aligned with the projects undertaken by WMH, Hockey India will plan events that will boost the participation of Masters Hockey and we will encourage all our past players to pick up the stick again and perhaps even urge new players to pick up the sport no matter how old they are," he added.
In order to continue the growth of Masters Hockey around the world, WMH will be working towards opening up new opportunities for players and officials from various countries.
