The International Hockey Federation (FIH) has announced that England and India will be the host nations of the senior men's Hockey World Cups in 2018.

According to the Dawn, the move is part of FIH's new event assignment process, which was presented to national associations at the FIH Congress in November last year.

Argentina will host two events in 2015, with the men's World League semi-final and the women's World League final, while Belgium will be the location for a superb joint men and women's World League semi-finals tournament, the report said.

The men's World League Final will take place in India from Dec 5 to 13, the report added.

In 2016, the elite men and women's Champions Trophy events have been awarded to Argentina and England respectively, while India has won the rights to host the men's Junior World Cup, the report further said.

The World League will dominate the 2017 calendar, with semi-final and final events taking place in Belgium, Argentina, England and India, according to the report.

The women's tournament in England is scheduled to take place from July 7 to 21, 2018, with the men's event in India planned for Dec 1-16, 2018, the report mentioned.
