Japan will take on India in a classification round match of the FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup 2023. The match will take place at Birsa Munda International Hockey Stadium in Rourkela on January 22.
Japan had a horrible outing at the Hockey World Cup as they were knocked out of the competition without winning a single game. They finished bottom of the Pool B points table with a goal difference of -10.
India, on the other hand, had a shocking end to their World Cup hopes as they lost 5-4 against New Zealand in the penalty shoot-out. Both teams played really well throughout the game as the match ended in a 3-3 tie after the full-time whistle.
However, the hosts failed to make it count in the penalty shoot-out as they got knocked out of the tournament.
