Men's FIH Pro League


The Men's FIH Pro League is an international men's field hockey competition organised by the International Hockey Federation, which replaces the Men's FIH Hockey World League. The competition, also served as a qualifier for the Hockey World Cup and the Olympic Games.
The first edition started in 2019. Nine teams secured their places for four years.

Format

Nine men's and women's teams will compete in a round-robin tournament with home and away matches, played from January to June, with the top four teams advancing to the grand final at a pre-determined location. In July 2017, Hockey India decided to withdraw both the men's and women's national teams from the competition as they estimated the chances of qualifying for the Summer Olympics to be higher when participating in the Men's FIH Hockey World League. Hockey India also cited lack of clarity in the ranking system. The International Hockey Federation subsequently invited Spain and Belgium instead. Pakistan were suspended on 23 January 2019 after they could not play their first three games. India join the Pro League from 2020 onwards.
