Profile:
The Hockey Association of Zimbabwe (HAZ) was established in 1925 and is responsible for the administration of hockey, at all levels, within the country In 1980 the association took on the new name Hockey Association of Zimbabwe (HAZ), and within a month of being readmitted to the FIH was invited to participate in the Moscow Olympics. It was here, in the first ever Olympics to include women’s hockey, that the Zimbabwe Women’s Team won the nation’s first Olympic Gold Medal.
In 1994 the Government of Zimbabwe, in preparation for the 6th Africa Games, being hosted in Harare and Bulawayo, constructed the world class Magamba and Khumalo Hockey Stadium’s. Crowds in excess of 6,000 watched the men’s final in Harare, whilst over 11,000 spectators cheered the home team in the ladies final in Bulawayo, where the Silver medal was collected. At the same time the two separate men’s and women’s associations merged to form a new Hockey Association of Zimbabwe in 1995.
