The 2025 Men's EuroHockey Championship was the twentieth edition of the Men's EuroHockey Championship, the biennial international men's field hockey championship of Europe organised by the European Hockey Federation.

Contents

The tournament was held alongside the women's tournament at the Warsteiner HockeyPark in Mönchengladbach, Germany from 8 to 16 August 2025. [1] [2] It was the third time Mönchengladbach hosted the event.

The Netherlands were the two-time defending champions, they did not defend their title as they lost to Germany 4–1 in a shoot-out after the final finished 1–1 in regular time. [3] It was a record-extending ninth title for Germany. As the winner, Germany qualified for the 2026 Men's FIH Hockey World Cup in Wavre, Belgium and Amstelveen, Netherlands. [4] Spain won the bronze medal as they defeated France 2–0. [5]

Qualification

The top six teams from the 2023 edition qualified directly for this edition of the tournament. [6] The last two teams will be the winners of the two sets of EuroHockey Qualifiers taking place in Vienna, Austria and Dublin, Ireland in August 2024. [7] [8]
