There is just one day to go before the start of the Rabobank Hockey World Cup 2014 set for 31 May to 15 June in The Hague, Netherlands. Throughout the next two weeks 76 matches will take place for the men’s and women’s event that will feature 24 teams and 15 countries in total. Today, FIH announced that there will be a small change to the first three game times on the final two days of the tournament.

The game-time modifications are to accommodate the unprecedented media and broadcast interest and to allow for extra time for the final in case prior matches result in shoot-outs.

The first three games on both 14-15 June will be moved 30 minutes earlier according to the below updated schedule, while the finals on both days will remain the same.
