Argentine men qualify

Argentina's men's national team have qualified for the Rabobank Hockey World Cup 2014. Argentina qualified by reaching the final of the third round Hockey World League in Malaysia with a 3-1 win over England. The top three teams in the competition automatically go forward to the World Cup.

A further ticket will go to the best number four of both third rounds, in Malaysia and Rotterdam. Korea will face England in the third place play-off, with a win guaranteeing them a place at the Rabobank Hockey World Cup 2014 in The Hague. If England wins this match, the 'lucky loser'-ticket will go to New Zealand, who were fourth in Rotterdam, because their world ranking (6) is higher than that of Korea (8).
