France will lock horns with South Africa in the 13th Match of the FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup 2023. The match will take place at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Monday, January 16.
France endured a horrible start to their World Cup campaign as they lost 8-0 against Australia. They now sit at the bottom of the Pool A points table with a goal difference of -8. The French need a miracle from here if they wish to book their place in the next round of the competition.
South Africa, on the other hand, put up a strong performance against Argentina in their first game. However, they failed to get their name on the scoresheet, falling to a 1-0 defeat.
They are currently placed third in the Pool A points table with a goal difference of -1. South Africa desperately needs to win this game as another loss might knock them out of this year's Hockey World Cup.
