Hockey5s World Cup 2028*

The Hockey5s World Cup is an international field hockey competition Fédération Internationale de Hockey (FIH). It was held for the first time in 2024, with the men's and women's competitions held back-to-back as part of the same event.

The concept behind Hockey5s is a faster version of the sport with more goals. As the name suggests, each team has 5 players. It is played on a smaller pitch making it incredibly intense, where the ball is in play for about 90% of the match. There are 16 teams per gender (3 per continent as well as the hosts).

The inaugural event was held in 2024, with the Netherlands coming out on top in both the men's and women's competitions.
