Hockey world cup history records

Hockey World Cup History Records: The 2023 edition of the tournament will be the first time a nation has played host to the World Cup for two successive editions. However, unlike in 2018, the Kalinga Hockey Stadium in Bhubaneswar will not be the only venue, as the brand-new Birsa Munda Hockey stadium in Rourkela will split hosting duties for the upcoming World Cup.

As far as history is concerned, hockey shared an intricate bond with the Olympic Games, ever since its first introduction in 1908 London Games.
