Squad selected for Scotland men’s Nations Cup 2 trip to Oman

The Scotland men’s FIH Hockey Nations Cup 2 squad has been announced for the upcoming tournament in Muscat, Oman, from 17 to 23 February 2025.

It will be the first edition of the men’s tournament, the annual qualification tournament for the FIH Hockey Nations Cup.

The eight highest ranked teams not participating in the 2024–25 Men’s FIH Pro League and 2024–25 Men’s FIH Hockey Nations Cup participate in the tournament.

Scotland men begin against the hosts, Oman, before facing Austria and United States in the pool phase, ahead of the knock-out matches.

It’s another huge year for the squad as they build towards Men’s EuroHockey Championship II in Lousada, Portugal, on 27 July to 2 August.

Head Coach Jonny Caren said, “Nations Cup 2 is an exciting opportunity to challenge ourselves against the teams in and around us in the world rankings. This inaugural tournament presents the opportunity to test the direction we are traveling as a squad.

“Our athletes and staff have worked hard over the Christmas and New Year period to continually push this team forward both on and off the pitch.

“Having to adapt and change our game to face teams from four different continents will be a new experience for many of this team in a competitive environment, but we are looking forward to the growth as a group through this tournament.

“We, as a team, understand the pressure is high with the world ranking points that are at stake, but it is these moments that we work hard for all year round.”
