Tickets on sale for EuroHockey Championship 2023
Tickets for the EuroHockey Championships 2023, which will be held August 18th-27th at SparkassenPark Mönchengladbach, are now available through the tournament website at eurohockey2023.com.
Up to 100,000 fans can experience the tournament up close and personal in Mönchengladbach. The spectators can look forward to 16 teams – all in the world’s top 20 – contesting 40 high octane games across the men’s and women’s competitions. More than that, the winners automatically qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The pricing structure offers something for all with the cheapest category 3 tickets starting at just €12.50.
“We have gone to great lengths to ensure that every hockey fan can experience world-class field hockey live at the Hockeypark in Mönchengladbach, no matter what their budget,” said Niclas Thiel, Commercial Director of the Deutsche Hockey Bund.
The fixture schedule was announced last week with a series of eye-catching fixtures on the agenda which the host country’s coaches are already planning for.
“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,” says André Hennig, German men’s national coach.
“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.”
German women’s coach Valentin Altenburg added: “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.”
