Participants
The first World Cup was the only one without qualification. It was an invitational tournament where the top ten teams from five continents were invited by the International Hockey Federation by merit of their performances in the Summer Olympics. The teams were divided into two groups for five each, with the top two proceeding to the semi-finals after the round-robin stage. Gold medalists at the 1968 Olympics, Pakistan, were grouped in 'B' alongside runners-up Australia, and Spain, the Netherlands and Japan. Group 'A' included Argentina, France, India, Kenya and West Germany.Top 10 hockey teams to clash https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/Digitised/Article/newnation19711015-1.2.69.22 18 May 2022 New Nation 15 October 1971 15
