The road to India/England 2018 has started a while ago (before the olympics actually) with the early rounds of FIH world league. Currently the first european stages are underway.

 

Lots of debutants in both gentlemen and ladies, especially from Asia. The most "exotic" additions seem to be on the men's side:   Some of them never before I had even seen playing this sport.

The Prague rounds of world league are over and the qualifier teams decided... In men's the home team is surprisingly eliminated at the expense of lower ranked Ukraine and Italy (the latter with a bunch of argentine players in the squad).

In women's no real surprises as Czechia, Ukraine and Poland advance, though the "surprise" in this case would be Poland (the highest ranked team of all round 1) having trouble to beat the likes of Lithuania and even losing to Ukraine.

 

 

Next up is....

- Glasgow tournament (only for men), where the home team  should win. Second quota looks open between  and . Completes the field  for which just participation will be the achievement.

- Accra tournaments for african teams (men and women)... where  men and  women should take the only place in round 2.

- Antalya tournament (only men) in which  should destroy the competition, second place and round 2 quota will be fought between  and curious debutant  which I suspect will maybe have some pakistani/indian/malaysian reinforcements.

Qualifiers for Round 2:

 

Glasgow: Surprisingly  won the tournament. won the other quota. 

Accra:  won quotas in both the men and women tournaments. 

Antalya: won the tournament. came second. At present Wiki is showing the tournament as having only one Round 2 quota but I think it is a mistake and there should be 2 quotas for this tournament.

ah ok. thanks

It's not so much of an "invitation" but more like any member federation of FIH can participate in world league as long as they pay the entry fee I think.

 

 

Next stop is in  (only for ladies) with the home team and . 3 spots to take, I'd say it should be very close between them but with Switzerland as outsiders (first time they participate in women's IIRC).
