Argentina's men's hockey team, known as Los Leones, unveiled a 20‑player roster for the 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup on Tuesday, marking the first step toward a tournament that will be staged across two European cities.
Training Resumes at Club San Fernando
After completing a stint in the FIH Pro League during the 2025‑26 European window, the squad reconvened at Club San Fernando to begin intensive preparations under the guidance of coach Lucas Rey.
The team will compete in Group A alongside Japan, the Netherlands and New Zealand, a bracket that promises early tests against some of the world’s strongest opponents.
Matches are slated for the iconic Wagener Stadium in Amsterdam and the Belfius Hockey Arena in Wavre, venues that will host the bulk of the competition’s fixtures.
The tournament will feature 32 national teams, split evenly between men’s and women’s competitions, with the host nations sharing organizational duties.
Looking Ahead
Coach Rey emphasized that the primary goal for the year is to advance deep into the 2026 World Championship, aiming to translate early‑stage performance into a podium finish.
