Twelve teams will take part in the MHF Under-21 hockey championships which will be held at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil from Dec 29-Jan 6.
They are defending champions Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Pahang, Terengganu, Kelantan, Kedah, Negri Sembilan, Penang, Perlis, Perak and Malacca. The teams not taking part are Police, Armed Forces, Sabah and Sarawak.
Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) secretary Hashim Mohamed Yusof said Sunday that the format will be a two pool matches for the preliminary round with the top two teams qualifying for the semi-finals.
“The tournament will be held over nine days and it is better we play a two pool format. That way the teams will get to play more matches.
“The MHF are the organisers and all the matches will be held on Pitch I at the national Hockey Stadium,” he said.
The tournament was supposed to have been held earlier in the year but was postponed numerous times due to other domestic and international fixtures.
