The 2025 Men's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup is the 14th edition of the Men's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup, the biennial men's under-21 field hockey world championship organized by the International Hockey Federation. It is held at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Hockey Stadium in Chennai and Madurai International Hockey Stadium in Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India, from 28 November to 10 December 2025.[1][2]
The tournament will feature 24 teams for the first time.[3]
24 teams will be split into six groups and four teams and play a round-robin. After the preliminary round, the teams will be ranked in their position they finished. The group winners and the two best-second placed teams advance to the quarterfinals. The four remaining second-placed teams and the four best third-ranked teams play the 9 to 16th place playoffs and the remaining teams the 17 to 24th place games. From there on, a knockout system will be used.[4]
Qualification
Alongside the hosts, India, the 23 other teams qualify via the continental championships.[5]
Qualified teams
Because only two teams participated in the Oceania qualifier the third quota from Oceania was reallocated to Europe, the continent of the next highest placed team in the Junior World Ranking. Oman replaced Pakistan in Pool B after the latter withdrew from the tournament having refused to travel to India, amid the 2025 India–Pakistan crisis, after its request for a "neutral venue" was rejected by the FIH. Pakistan had previously also withdrawn from the 2025 Hockey Asia Cup for the same reason.[6][7]
Venues
On 28 March 2025, Hockey India announced that Chennai and Madurai are the two host cities for the 2025 Junior World Cup.[11][12]
Draw
The draw was scheduled to take place on 24 June 2025, but was postponed later.[13][14] It was held on 28 June 2025.[15]
Seeding
The seeding was announced on 19 June 2025.[13]
Squads
Players born on or after 1 January 2004 were eligible to compete in the tournament.[5]
