The International Hockey Federation (FIH) is all set to host the FIH Hockey Men’s Olympic Qualifiers in Muscat, Oman starting on Monday, January 15. Eight teams will participate in this qualifier with four teams divided into two pools. Notably, another eight teams will clash against each other in the Valencia qualifier, commencing on January 13.
Pool A will have teams from China, Great Britain, Malaysia, and Pakistan, while Pool B comprises Canada, Chile, Germany, and New Zealand.
Great Britain is one of the favorites in Pool A having won the silver medal at the Euro Hockey Championship and FIH Hockey Pro League 2022-23. Meanwhile, China, having made just one appearance in the Olympics in 2008 as hosts, would be hoping to join alongside their women’s team, who qualified for the Olympics as the gold medalists of the Asian Games 2023.
Ranked at the fifth spot in the rankings, Germany will start in Pool B as the top contender to bag a spot in the mega event. On the other hand, New Zealand, who are suffering from unimpressive form of late, would be hoping to turn the tables in this campaign.
It’s important to note that Australia, Argentina, Netherlands, South Africa, and India have already qualified for the Paris Olympics by securing gold at their respective continental qualifiers. France will make direct entry as hosts. Six sides from both qualifiers will join these sides in the main event.
