According to Beckmann, this is the origin of polo and, subsequently, of hockey.

Athletes would play hockey outside of football training hours to stay in constant form. This form of the game was known as field hockey (çayır hokeyi).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003eHockey was first introduced to Turkey by British families settled in Istanbul. Teams formed within clubs established by the British were already playing matches among themselves on the meadows of Kadıköy as early as 1910. This activity, observed in the early 1910s, came to a halt with the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, when the Ottoman government closed British clubs, since Britain was on the opposing side, and confiscated their equipment, redistributing it to Turkish clubs. It was under these circumstances that hockey began to be played within Turkish clubs. The first major initiative in this regard was undertaken at Fenerbahçe Club by Elkihipzade Mustafa Bey.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003eIn order to establish the Turkish Training Societies Alliance (TİCİ), clubs such as Altınordu, Beylerbeyi, Darüşşafaka, Anadolu, Bakırköy, Fenerbahçe, Hilal İdman Yurdu, Nişantaşı, Süleymaniye, Türkgücü, Vefa, Üsküdar, Beşiktaş, Union, and Galatasaray held their first meeting in Istanbul on 26 June 1920. The provisional executive committee included Ali Sami Yen (1886-1951), Burhan Felek (1889-1982), Selim Sırrı Tarcan (1874-1957), and Yusuf Ziya Öniş (1892-1960). The founders held their first official meeting at the Fenerbahçe clubhouse in Kadıköy on 14 July 1922. The establishment of TİCİ was supported by the government of the time, and Turkey was invited for the first time to the 1924 Paris Olympic Games. The organization received 17,000 TL in government funding, with Prime Minister İsmet İnönü allocating an additional 10,000 TL.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003eAt a meeting held on 18 September 1925, the Turkish Training Societies Alliance (TİCİ), founded in 1922, established a Hockey Committee, conducted its first elections, and officially continued the Turkish hockey leagues that had existed intermittently since 1915.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003eThus, hockey spread throughout the country and began to be played not only in Istanbul but also in Ankara, İzmir, and Adana.
