About the Team :

Belgium have made incredible strides forward over the past few years, a trend that very much continued throughout the 2013 period. Head Coach Marc Lammers, the legendary Dutchman who guided the Netherlands women to Olympic Gold at Beijing 2008, has moulded Belgium into one of the most feared attacking sides in the world, a fact proven by their two victories over reigning world champions Australia on their way to winning the Rabobank Hockey World League Semi Final event in Rotterdam. Although, the sidewere narrowly beaten by Olympic Champions Germany in the final of the Tri Finance Euro Hockey Nations continental championship in the summer, they will come into the Hockey World League Final tournament as one of the tournament favorites.
