England's international hockey is managed through a separate limited company called World Class Hockey Limited, which is funded entirely by Sport England . The second tier of hockey administration in England consists of six Regional Associations – East, Midlands, North, South, West and the Combined Services, and below that there are county associations. It is affiliated to the European Hockey Federation and International Hockey Federation . While UK hockey is organised by separate bodies for each of the Home Nations , the United Kingdom is required to enter a combined team in the Olympics . This has created tensions between the governing bodies and those responsible for the Great Britain teams, which have performed disappointingly since Great Britain's men's team won gold at the 1988 Summer Olympics . England Hockey is based at the National Hockey Stadium in Milton Keynes , but the cost of running the stadium was one of the factors that led to the demise of the English Hockey Association, and it is presently leased to Milton Keynes Dons football club and is not used for hockey.
