The ÖHV men compete as world champions and vice European champions with the aim of playing for the title. For the red-white-red women’s team, it’s about the first medal since 1998.
For both teams, the Netherlands and especially Germany will be the highest hurdles. For the ÖHV women it is against these two traditionally strong hockey nations at the start on Wednesday. Michael Körper and Co. have the Germans and the Dutch as opponents at the end of the group on Saturday, from Thursday it’s against Switzerland, Belgium and the Czech Republic.
For ten Austrian team players, eight of them men, the title fights are a home game, so to speak, as they are active in Hamburg in the German Bundesliga. The Hamburg sports hall is still new territory for everyone.
