Three games in, and the Dutch champions haven’t won a single one. Rotterdam lifted the Hoofdklasse title in May, beating Amsterdam on aggregate in the final. This season? Played three, lost three, zero points, and a trip nowhere gets easier because SCHC visit Hazelaarweg on Sunday. It’s the storyline of the European weekend, but it’s…
403.3 million. That’s how many people watched the Hockey World Cup on TV this year, according to figures the FIH published on Thursday. Not a typo. Not a rounding trick. Live matches, highlights, delayed broadcasts and repeats across the men’s and women’s tournaments in Belgium and the Netherlands added up to the biggest television audience…
Three rounds into the Dutch season, the champions have played three and lost three. Rotterdam, who lifted the men’s title last season, sit on zero points with seven scored and eleven conceded. On Sunday they host promoted SCHC at Hazelaarweg, and a fourth straight defeat turns a bad start into a proper crisis. Their losses…
One goal. That’s all Blake Govers needs in Newcastle on Friday night to own the Hockey One scoring record outright. The NSW Pride drag-flicker sits on 43 career goals, level with Joel Rintala at the top of the league’s all-time men’s list. His penalty corner against the Melbourne Cobras in Round One drew him level….
Five under-21 teams, one trophy, and the question every fan is typing into Google this week: where can I actually watch it? The Sultan of Johor Cup 2026 runs from 17 to 24 October in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, with Pakistan, hosts Malaysia, Canada, China and Japan in the field. Here’s what’s confirmed so far, and…
Pakistan could be about to watch Asia’s premier men’s tournament from home. If the reporting out of India is right, that’s exactly what’s coming. The Asian Champions Trophy runs from 27 October to 5 November in Jalandhar and Mohali, Punjab, and on the reported six-team field, Pakistan aren’t in it. Bangladesh are, in their place….
One bad game can wreck your whole week in Johor. The Johor Cup is a five-team group with no semi-finals, so there’s nowhere to hide: group results decide who reaches finals day, and who goes home early. Pakistan’s under-21s know the deal. They play China first, on Saturday, at the start of a season that’s…
Clear your Saturday afternoon. At 2:05 pm Pakistan time, Pakistan’s under-21s walk out in Johor Bahru to face China, and it’s the start of the biggest week of their young season. They aren’t the only ones playing, either. Australia’s Hockey One hits Round 2 this weekend, the Dutch Hoofdklasse reaches Round 4 on Sunday, and…
Tomorrow afternoon, Pakistan’s under-21s walk out in Johor Bahru for the match that shapes their whole week. China first up, 2:05 pm Pakistan time, and there’s no easing into this. Five teams, one group, eight days, and by Saturday week someone lifts the Sultan of Johor Cup. The field is small and awkward. Hosts Malaysia,…
Four World Cup titles made Pakistan hockey royalty. Nobody gets to take that away. But the honest truth today is a team ranked 12th in the world, and SportsCursor won’t dress it up. Here’s where Pakistan stand: 12th in the FIH men’s rankings, on 2,561 points. That’s the reality. And yet October 2026 brought something…
