Scottish Hockey confirms Men’s Five Nations competition in Glasgow
Scottish Hockey today confirmed that it will host a Men’s Five Nations competition featuring Scotland, Argentina, Belgium, England and Pakistan at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre from 23-29 April.
The Men’s Five Nations is the second international competition to be staged at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games hockey venue this year, in addition to the FIH Champions Challenge I event taking place from 27 April-4 May.
David Sweetman, Scottish Hockey Chief Executive, said, “The confirmation of the Men’s Five Nations competition at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre is hugely exciting and another fantastic opportunity to showcase international hockey and the world’s top players here in Scotland. We look forward to welcoming the participating teams.
“With both the Men’s Five Nations and FIH Champions Challenge I events being held in Glasgow at the same time, it will truly be a feast of hockey for supporters of the sport to enjoy.
“We will be releasing an exciting ticket offer for our members very shortly and we look forward to seeing a passionate and noisy crowd on each day of the competition. We will also be releasing a batch of tickets free to all schools and local community groups.”
The competition will offer Scotland Senior Men’s Head Coach Derek Forsyth and his players the opportunity to test themselves against four of the world’s top nations ahead of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games in the summer. England and Belgium are ranked fourth and fifth in the world respectively, while Pakistan are ranked ninth and Argentina eleventh.
