The first FIH Men’s Hockey Junior World Cup was held in Versailles, France, in 1979. There have been 12 editions of the tournament staged with the last one at Bhubaneswar, India, in 2021. Players under-21 years of age on December 31 in the year before the Junior World Cup are eligible to compete.

South Africa began their FIH Junior World Cup 2023 quest in earnest on Tuesday in Malaysia when they took on the powerhouse of Junior World Hockey Germany. The Germans, winners of a medal in every tournament except one of the previous 12 editions are one of the favourites for the tournament and likely to be in the discussion at the business end of the tournament. For South Africa it’s a 6th appearance looking to consolidate the 9th place finish two years ago in India.
