Hockey's Global Renaissance: A World Cup for the Ages The FIH Hockey World Cup has long been a showcase of international hockey, pitting the world's top teams against each other in a month long tournament that solidifies reputations and sparks rivalries.
This year's edition, held in the Netherlands (women) and Belgium (men), promises to be one for the record books. The Kookaburras, ranked fourth in the world, have had success in their past.
Their last World Cup title came in 2014, but recent victories in the FIH Pro League over Belgium and the Netherlands have reignited hopes of a championship run.
