With the field now set, the head to heads for competing nations across 23/24 is:

 

 

The men seem to have had a significantly higher number of games compared to the women and most of the nations seem reasonably well matched. 

 

Hopefully Ireland will have opportunity to arrange a couple of test matches against the higher ranked nations because outside of this week's Olympic Qualifiers, they haven't competed against any top competition since the start of 2023.

Ireland is in the Pro League so will have matches against the top nations which should help with Olympic preparation. What an achievement for this team to make it to the Olympics, they’ve had to completely rebuild in recent years and it all came good at the right time

It's based on the current world ranking with serpentine system. FIH should announce it officially at the end of the month.

Also good to see Ireland given the… controversial way in which y’all missed out on 2020.

 

(We’re not sorry about it tho :P )
