'We could be playing hockey in front of 62,000 people' - Shipperley

Wales hockey co-captain Rupert Shipperley says an England-Wales World Cup in 2026 would be 'massive' for the sport.

The two nations have submitted a joint bid for the men's event, with the semi-finals and finals due to be played on a temporary pitch at the 62,000-capacity Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

The International Hockey Federation (FIH) will announce the host, or hosts, in November.
