What Confederação Brasileira de Hóquei sobre a Grama e Indoor does

Confederação Brasileira de Hóquei sobre a Grama e Indoor (CBHG) is the national governing body for field hockey and indoor hockey in Brazil, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Rio de Janeiro. The confederation is affiliated with the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB) and the International Hockey Federation (FIH), and operates as a non-profit sports federation rather than a commercial enterprise. Its core functions include managing Brazilian national teams across men's, women's, and youth categories (Sub-18, Sub-21) in both field hockey and indoor hockey, organizing Brazilian national championships, certifying coaches and referees, and administering inclusive hockey programs in partnership with Special Olympics Brasil.

CBHG's product and service portfolio comprises six core offerings: national team management and athlete development, organization of Brazilian championships (field hockey, indoor hockey, and Hockey 5s across age categories), school-based development programs delivered through municipal and state education partnerships, inclusive hockey initiatives, referee and coach training and certification, and educational resources including a published introductory hockey manual. Technology infrastructure is minimal — the confederation operates an official website (hoqueisobregrama.com.br), a Facebook presence, and a competition management platform (SIGH). The school development program with the Secretaria Municipal de Educação do Rio de Janeiro impacts approximately 60,000 students in the municipal education network alone, with parallel programs in Blumenau, São Bernardo do Campo, Ceará, and Eusébio.

CBHG's business model is that of a non-profit sports federation funded through a combination of federal and municipal government grants, COB allocations, and sponsorship arrangements (including Caixa Econômica Federal as the first Olympic Program sponsor). Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no direct consumer pricing exists. The customer base is institutional: hockey athletes and clubs, municipal and state education secretariats, and government sports departments. The confederation has no subsidiaries, no venture or private equity backing, and operates under the governance of an elected president and board; Patricia Boos assumed the presidency in October 2025 following Daniel Finco's departure.
