Update: 7 July 2017, Friday
The London Semi-Finals last June has produced a winner: Netherlands! Not surprisingly, Argentina’s Gonzalo Peillat pushed his team to 2nd place with a stunning display of showmanship – earning him the Hero Best Player and Hero Top Scorer awards. Last but not least, home favourites England managed to give us plenty to cheer about with a 4-1 victory against Malaysia – placing them at 3rd place and qualifies England for the Odisha Hockey World League Final happening this December 2017.

 
The race to qualify for next year’s 2018 Hockey Men’s World Cup continues at Wits University in Johannesburg. Organised by the International Hockey Federation (FIH), the Hockey World League also serves as the qualifier for the Hockey World Cup.
 
Scheduled from July 9 to 23, 2017, host nations South Africa, Australia, Belgium, Egypt, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, and Spain will go head up against each other in this round of Semi Finals.
