Men's and Women's Field Hockey - European Championship Qualifier

The EuroHockey Championship Qualifier II tournament brings European national field hockey teams to Helsinki to compete for places at the next championship level.

The tournaments are held at Helsinki Velodrom, which serves as an international-standard arena for Finnish field hockey.

In the women's tournament, Finland faces Gibraltar, Luxembourg, and Hungary. The men's tournament includes Finland, Lithuania, Malta, Gibraltar, Luxembourg, Greece, and Hungary. Matches are played in both group stages and placement matches, where final standings are determined.

EuroHockey's competition system is based on multiple division levels (Championship I, II, and III), where teams can rise or fall based on their results. The Qualifier II tournament is a key part of this structure, as the top teams advance to a higher European championship level.

The event offers the local audience a rare opportunity to watch Finland's national teams in official international competitions at home.

Field hockey is one of the world's oldest and most widespread ball sports, and its international competitions bring together the best teams from across Europe.

Welcome to support Finland and enjoy world-class international field hockey in Helsinki!
