2012–13 Men's FIH Hockey World League Semifinals

The 2012–13 Men's FIH Hockey World League Semifinals took place from June to July 2013. A total of 16 teams competing in 2 events were part in this round of the tournament playing for 7 berths in the Final, played between 10 and 18 January 2014 in New Delhi, India.

This round also served as the qualifier for the 2014 Men's Hockey World Cup as the 6 highest placed teams apart from the host nation and the five continental champions qualified.

Qualification edit

8 teams ranked between 1st and 8th in the FIH World Rankings current at the time of seeking entries for the competition qualified automatically.[1] After Germany announced they would not be able host a Semifinal due to financial restrictions, Malaysia was chosen to do so therefore exempt from Round 2, to which were qualified by ranking basis.[2] For this reason one less berth was available at that event and only 7 teams qualified from Round 2. France (17th) qualified as the highest-ranked second-placed team between the Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Elektrostal Round 2 events, leaving Russia (20th) unable to qualify.[3] The following sixteen teams, shown with final pre-tournament rankings, competed in this round of the tournament.
