England will take on Wales in the third match of the FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup 2023. The match will take place at the Birsa Munda International Hockey Stadium in Rourkela on January 13.
Both the teams are placed in Pool D along with Spain and the hosts India. The English team had a successful campaign in the 2018 Hockey World Cup. They played well throughout the tournament before the defending champions Belgium thrashed them 6-0 in the semi-finals. The team will want to forget that loss and start their challenge with a win.
Meanwhile, Wales are all set to make their debut at the Hockey World Cup this year. However, it will not be easy for them to make a mark in their maiden World Cup outing as they are placed with three very competitive teams this year. They have a tough task ahead as they gear up to face a strong English side in the tournament opener.
