Bhubaneswar: Three-time champions Australian and the England team arrived in Odisha for the FIH Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup 2023, and were afforded a warm welcome at the Biju Patnaik International Airport, here.

While Australia are eyeing a fourth title, England’s best finish has been a Silver medal in 1986, when they hosted the tournament.

England, who are placed in Pool D along with India, Spain and Wales, will begin their final preparations in Bhubaneswar, before moving to Rourkela, where they open their campaign against Wales January 13. After that, England will take on the Indian Men’s Hockey Team on January 15, also in Rourkela, before moving back to Bhubaneswar, where they end their group-stage January 19 against Spain.

“I think we are a contender for the FIH Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela trophy. There is a lot of belief in our camp as everyone is confident about their abilities and we have also trained well in the last few months. We went on many tours and played some top teams like the Netherlands and Argentina which has made us ready for the FIH Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela,” said England’s Captain David Ames.

England have Paul Revington as their Head Coach, and will be hoping to improve on their record at the FIH Odisha World Cup 2023.

“The team is in the right frame of mind ahead of the big tournament as everyone is excited to play in India. It’s always a fantastic opportunity to take part in the World Cup. The team has been in good form over the last one year and we will look to repeat the same good performance in the tournament,” said Revington.

On the other hand, Australia, who are also known as the Kookaburras, are in Pool A along with Argentina, France and South Africa, and will kick start their tournament in Bhubaneswar January 13 against France, before playing Argentina January 16, at the Kalinga Stadium.

Australia’s captain Eddie Ockenden is confident of a good showing in the tournament. He stated, “Our players are really excited to be here and we have big ambitions in the tournament. We want to do well and have confidence that we will be able to win the FIH Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela title. Our team has a lot of experience and it will be really crucial for us.”

Australia, who won back-to-back World Cup titles in 2010 (New Delhi) and 2014 (The Hague, Netherlands), had bagged their first title in 1986 (England) when they defeated England. They will complete their group stage fixtures January 20th when they play South Africa in Rourkela.

Looking ahead to the tournament, Head Coach Colin Batch commented, “We have a really good team and our players are prolific goal scorers which is really important as it helps you to win matches. At the same time, our defence is also really good and we often manage to restrict the opposition’s scoring. So, our fundamentals are strong and that makes us a really good side.”

He added, “Our players are also excited to face India as they are a totally different side at home. They play good hockey at home and get extra motivation from the crowd. It will be tough to beat India if we play against them in the FIH Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela.”
