Women’s Hockey World Cup 2022: calendar, matches, results, classification, positions, where and how to watch

With July, not only extreme heat arrived in the Northern Hemisphere and cold in the Southern Hemisphere, but also the 2022 Women’s Hockey World Cup . We are presenting the details of this competition whose defending champion is the Netherlands , which celebrated in London 2018. Four years earlier it had also celebrated in The Hague.  

Here’s everything you need to know about the 2022 Women’s Hockey World Cup .

Where and when is the 2022 Women’s Hockey World Cup played?

The 2022 Women’s Hockey World Cup will be historic: for the first time since the competition debuted in 1974, it will be played in two countries. The Spanish city of  Terrassa and the Dutch city of  Amstelveen will host the event. Spain has already hosted the World Cups in Madrid in 1978 and 2006, both won by the Netherlands; Amstelveen will host for the second time after 1986 (the host celebrated). The tournament will be played from July 1 to 17.

Format of the Women’s Hockey World Cup 2022

The tournament will be played in four groups, in a round robin format with a single match . The first three in each zone will advance to the next phase: the leaders will go directly to the quarterfinals, while the second and third will face each other in the round of 16, also called crossover .
