Can 11 Mixed players Hockey matches be played across nations?

11 Mixed players = 6 Male, 5 Female Or 5 Male, 6 Female Hockey players.

For examples :

England v/s India
Australia v/s India
England v/s Australia

and so on ...

Can this become a popular sport?

Thanks & Regards,

My opinion: Co-ed sports don't exist because men are biologically stronger than women (hormonal differences: testosterone versus estrogen). Men play at a different intensity than women in most sports, and hocket is no exception. This is NOT to say that men are better than women in sports, because there are a lot of athletic women in the sports industry that can out-run, out-shoot, and out-do men in the same sport. However, I'm certain if you brought the best male hockey player and played against the best female hockey player, there would be little contest in that competition.
