Rio Olympics: Indian hockey team to face Germany, Holland
The hockey event in Rio Olympics will be played according to the new format i.e knock-out quarterfinal round and India just need to beat lower-ranked Ireland and Canada to qualify for the last eight stage.
Meanwhile, the Indian women's team, the lowest ranked in Rio, have been placed along side Argentina (2nd), Australia (3rd), Great Britain (6th), USA (7th) and Japan (10th) in Pool B.
While Pool A in the women's section consists of defending Olympic and reigning world champions Netherlands, 2015 Hockey World League runners-up New Zealand (4th), China (5th), Germany (8th), Korea (9th) and Spain (14th).
The International Hockey Federation (FIH) confirmed the line-up on Monday after Spain women and New Zealand men teams have officially accepted invitations to participate in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games hockey events.
Spain women and New Zealand men were invited to participate following the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee's (SASCOC) decision to reject invitations for South Africa's men's and women's hockey teams, a statement from the FIH read.
