Field hockey in Luxembourg is a small but dynamically growing sport, primarily driven by the national federation and the country’s single official club.
Here is everything you need to know about the infrastructure, teams, and how to get involved:
The Federation: Hockey Federation Luxembourg (HFL)
The Hockey Federation Luxembourg (HFL) oversees the development of the sport across the Grand Duchy.
- Location: Based in Strassen (3, Route d’Arlon).
- Role: Coordinates national teams, develops youth programs, and hosts international tournaments.
- Growth: The federation has significantly increased its international presence since forming its first official senior national team in 2022.
The Club: Luxembourg Hockey Club (LHC)
Because there is only one dedicated field hockey club in the country, all local club training and league play run through the Luxembourg Hockey Club.
- The Pitch: Teams train and play on a modern, water-based turf pitch located in Cessange (Zessingen).
- League Play: To ensure high-level competition, the club’s youth and adult teams compete externally in the Belgian Hockey League.
- Age Groups: Programs are available for all ages, ranging from “Minis” (U7/U8) through junior categories (U11 to U19) up to senior and veteran teams.
- Corporate League: The club hosts a highly popular, mixed-gender Corporate/Social League (7-a-side) every Monday evening for casual players and local companies.
