The Hockey 5s World Cup Qualifiers are set to begin on Sunday, June 4 at 1:00 pm at the Mona Hockey Field.

On the opening day of the tournament, ten (10) games are scheduled to take place, with Paraguay and Costa Rica facing off in the opener.

The Jamaica Women’s National Team will start their journey to the 2024 Oman World Cup at 5:00 pm against fellow Caribbean team Trinidad and Tobago, while the 7:00 pm feature game will see the Jamaica Men’s National Team facing the United States of America.

Guatemala, Panama, Uruguay, Brazil, and Puerto Rico will also open their accounts on day one.

Hockey 5s, the T20 version of field hockey, is a fast-paced version of the game played on a smaller pitch with five players on each team.

It is known for its high-scoring matches, dynamic skills, exciting gameplay, and swift transitions.

The tournament promises to be an intense and captivating event, with fans eagerly awaiting the on-field action as some of the finest teams from the Americas compete for an opportunity to represent their country on the global stage in Oman next year.

"We are extremely excited to host the Hockey 5s World Cup Qualifiers," stated Fabian Stewart, President of the Jamaica Hockey Federation.

"This tournament will showcase the exceptional talent of hockey players from across the Pan American region, and we eagerly anticipate witnessing the intense level of competition. Being chosen as the host for this vital qualifying event is a tremendous honour, and we are confident that we will witness outstanding performances from the teams as they vie for a spot in the World Cup."
