holders, and they are currently ranked at the top of the FIH World Ranking.
in the beginning of the 20th century, and the first women's teams were officially formed in 1909. In 1997, Sergio Vigil
, a former player for the men's national team
, was appointed coach. Under his leadership, Las Leonas achieved their first World Hockey Cup title, their first Olympic
medals, their first Champions Trophy medals, and many other achievements. The team went from having a rather limited audience to becoming a national sensation, with some of the players even appearing as models in advertising campaigns.
was chosen as their symbol when the team qualified for the 2000 Summer Olympics
. During the second round of games, Argentina played against the powerful Dutch team
, and they chose this occasion to place the image of a lioness on their shirts for the first time.
The image was designed by then-player Inés Arrondo
together with Vigil's sister-in-law. Argentina won that match, went on to win the silver medal, and Las Leonas were born. Subsequently, the junior (under 21) team is called Las Leoncitas ("the baby lionesses" or "the lioness cubs").
The lioness logo was redesigned in 2006 by the team kit supplier, Adidas
, along with Confederación Argentina de Hockey and even some of the most representative players. This is slightly different from the original, showing the lioness' tail pretending to be a hockey stick while holding a ball.
The nickname also falls in line with an unwritten Argentine tradition of naming national teams after big cats: the men's rugby union
team is called Los Pumas ("The Pumas"), and the women's volleyball
team is known as Las Panteras
("The Panthers
").
