Kookaburras to face Belgium in HWL finals

The Kookaburras face a semi-final rematch with Belgium when they kick off their Hockey World League Final campaign in Raipur.

The Kookaburras will face Belgium, Great Britain and Canada in the pool stage of the Hockey World League Final in Raipur in November.

The world No.1 Kookaburras' first match will be against fourth-ranked Belgium, who they defeated in the semi-finals to seal their qualification for the final and secure a place at the Rio Olympics.

They will then face fifth-ranked Great Britain the following day and minnows Canada, who are ranked 13th, two days later as they look to advance to the quarter-finals.

Australia finished fourth at the inaugural Hockey World League Final, which was won by the Netherlands.

The final will be on December 6 at the 3,000-capacity Raipur International Hockey Stadium.
