The 2026 men’s and women’s World Cup may prove to be a challenge for the media who want to attend both venues in the Netherlands (Amstelveen) and Belgium (Wavre).
The drive is around 2hrs 30 mins and will be accessible by train from Amsterdam to Antwerp.
The Hockey Writers’ Club will be contacting tournament organisers on behalf of any members who would like more information on what transport services may be available for attending media.
This may be crucial if men or women teams from the same country are competing in different venues.
Several members are self-employed or freelance and will not have the capacity to expense travel in this regard.
At the 2022 World Cup in Amsterdam and Terrassa, Spain there was no TV link in the media rooms for live matches in the corresponding countries.
The HWC will be making sure that attending media will have the best possible service for the 2026 event across both venue nations.
