History of the Islamic Hockey Tournament
Islamic Hockey Tournament is a new international sporting event that was first held in Kazan in January 2023. The idea of its creation arose in order to develop hockey in countries with a predominance of the Islamic religion and strengthen friendship between such countries.

Following the success of the first tournament, the ORKHIS organization was created - the Organization for the Development of Hockey in Islamic Countries, which helps to hold competitions and develop this sport.
In 2024 and 2025, tournaments were also held in Kazan, bringing together teams from Azerbaijan, Turkey, Pakistan, Lebanon, Bahrain and other countries. In 2025, the competition was held in a 3x3 format, which added dynamics and interest to the games.
