    The 2023 edition of the FIH Men's Hockey World Cup is set to get underway on January 13. The tournament will take place in the Indian state of Odisha for the second time in succession. India are one of the favorites to taste glory this time around. Their only WC triumph was recorded in 1975. Here's the full schedule of the tournament.

    Format of the competition

    16 teams are taking part in the competition. The sides are divided into four groups of four teams each. While the table-toppers from each group will directly advance to the quarter-finals, the second and third-place teams in each group will play the crossover round to determine the other four quarter-finalists. Four quarter-finals, two semis, and a summit clash will subsequently decide the winner.

    Presenting the 16 participating teams

    Pool A: Australia, Argentina, France, and South Africa. Pool B: Belgium, Germany, South Korea, and Japan. Pool C: Netherlands, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Chile. Pool D: India, England, Spain, and Wales.

    Argentina and South Africa are to meet in the opener

    The opener will meet South Africa meeting Argentine at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. India will start their campaign against Spain later on the same day in Rourkela. Defending champions Belgium, who tasted glory in 2018, will meet Korea in their opener on January 14. Later in the day, the Netherlands, the last edition's runners-up, will lock horns with Malaysia in their opener.

    Here are the important dates

    The Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar and Birsa Munda International Hockey Stadium in Rourkela will host the entire Hockey World Cup. The quarter-finals will take place on January 24-25, with the semi-finals scheduled on January 27. The final will take place on January 29 in Bhubaneswar.

    A look at the past winners

    Pakistan have clinched the title most times (4). Besides clinching the inaugural edition in 1971, they tasted glory in 1978, 1982 and 1994. India's only title came in 1975. Netherlands and Germany are the only two teams that have won the title at home. Australia and Netherlands have clinched the title thrice. Germany has two titles under their belt. Belgium clinched the preceding edition.

    India's performance at the Hockey World Cup

    India last won the tournament in 1975, finishing second and third in 1973 and 1971, respectively. Team India wound up sixth in the 2018 edition. As per TOI, it would be the first instance since 1982 when India play at a Hockey World Cup as a medalist from the last Olympics. India ended a 41-year-long wait by winning bronze in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

    Where to watch the Hockey World Cup?

    The matches will be telecast live on Star Sports Network, while live-streaming will be available on the Disney+Hotstar app.
