Meanwhile at the Men’s Trophy II, Rome: The EuroHockey Club Trophy II Men 2026 began with an eventful opening set of fixtures, providing early indicators in both pools as teams looked to establish momentum. In Pool B, Slagelse HC made a strong start with a convincing 4–1 win over Selçuklu Belediye SK, combining attacking efficiency with disciplined defensive play to take an early lead in the standings.
The second Pool B fixture was much tighter, with Grasshopper Club Zürich edging HC Bra 1–0 in a close contest. A single goal proved decisive in a match defined by defensive organisation, leaving Grasshopper level on points with Slagelse at the top of the pool after the opening round.
As a result, Pool B sees Slagelse and Grasshopper set the early pace on three points, while Selçuklu and Bra will look to respond quickly in their remaining matches to stay in contention. With a full round‑robin format, consistency will be key, particularly as goal difference could prove decisive in separating teams with similar records.
In Pool A, attention turned to ASD Tevere EUR Hockey against Casa Pia Atlético Clube, with that fixture marking the opening clash in the group, while HK Zelina prepares to enter the competition in subsequent matches. With just three teams competing, the smaller pool structure adds extra pressure, as each result carries significant weight in the race for a place in the final. Tereve took the spoils 4-1.
