About England Hockey

They won the bronze medal at the inaugural Commonwealth Games hockey tournament in 1998 in Kuala Lumpur which was repeated consecutively in 2014 at Glasgow and in 2018 at Gold Coast as well. Currently, the English team is placed at seventh position in the FIH Rankings, going into the 2018 World Cup.
