Netherlands, India, Japan and Germany are the participants for the 2010 BDO Hamburg Masters to be played from 2-4 July at the Uhlenhorster Hockey-Club in Hamburg, Germany.
For the Olympic Champion Germany and Hero Honda FIH World Cup bronze medalist Netherlands the 16th edition of the traditional four-nation men’s tournament is the rehearsal for the ABN AMRO Champions Trophy, which is scheduled only four weeks later in Monchengladbach, Germany (31 July- 8 August). This is a good time for Indian camp to try out the youngsters before the Champions Trophy which the Indian team is scheduled to play (though i am not sure about this)
Have to prepare hard to play against Europian nations in their homeland..
