India is all set to host the 14th edition of Men’s Hockey World Cup. It will be the third Men’s Hockey World Cup to be held in India—after Mumbai in 1982 and New Delhi in 2010. In its 47-year history, 25 countries had played around 569 games and scored 2,276 goals till date.

The mega event is slated to take place in Bhubaneswar from November 28. There will be four group stages, with 36 matches to be played in 18 match days. There will be 27 technical officials from 18 countries appointed by the International Hockey Federation.

This is the first time that as many as 16 teams (instead of 12) are participating in the world event of hockey and are divided into four pools.
