The 2002 Men's Hockey World Cup was the 10th edition of the Hockey World Cup , a men's field hockey tournament. It was held from 24 February to 9 March 2002 in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia.
Germany won their first title after defeating Australia 2–1 in the final. Netherlands won the third place match by defeating South Korea 3–2 with a golden goal .
For this tournament, the participating nations were increased from the standard 12 (as in the 5 previous editions) to 16 and each squad could consist of 18 players instead of the normal 16 after the FIH considered the hot and humid conditions in Malaysia .[ 1] [ 2]
Each of the continental champions from five confederations and the host nation received an automatic berth. The European confederation received one extra quota based upon the FIH World Rankings . Pakistan and England qualified as fourth and sixth team in final ranking at the 2000 Summer Olympics , completing the final line-up alongside the seven teams from the Qualifier .[ 3]
