Statements of the German national coaches
“Even though we are currently focusing on the World Cup in January, the home European Championships is of course a highlight that has long been on our minds. For many of us, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience in our own stadium, playing for the title. The Netherlands is likely to be our toughest competitor. They clearly dominated 2022 and are always favourites. France has continued to develop recently - especially in view of the Olympic Games in Paris. The French are therefore likely to be our toughest rivals for a semi-final ticket. Wales is certainly an underdog, are hard to play against and will not be a foregone conclusion.", André Hennig,German men's national coach.
"We are very pleased to be able to host the EuroHockey Championship for all teams. With England and Ireland, we have two teams in the group that we know well from the FIH Pro League and the World Cup and hold in high regard. With Scotland as our third opponent, we will be playing a team that is still unknown to us. Both groups promise exciting duels right from the start of the tournament. Regardless of the draw and our opponents, our goal is to reach the semi-finals." Valentin Altenburg, German women’s national coach.
