The Australian men’s hockey team will take on the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the Paris 2024 Olympics hockey tournament at the Yves-du-Manoir Stadium in Colombes in the early hours on Monday.

The Australia vs Netherlands men’s hockey quarter-finals will be broadcast live in Australia. The AUS vs NED hockey match will begin at 1:30 AM AEST on Monday.

The Kookaburras, fourth in the hockey rankings, had a tricky group-stage campaign. They finished third in Pool B with three wins and two losses in five matches.

They defeated Argentina, New Zealand and Ireland in the tournament, but defeats to defending champions Belgium and India meant they had to settle for the third spot.

The Netherlands hockey team, world No. 3, finished second in Pool A. The Dutch picked up 10 points in five matches courtesy of three wins and a draw. Their only loss of the campaign so far came against 2012 champions Germany.

Netherlands vs Australia hockey head-to-head

The Australian men’s hockey team, silver medallist at Tokyo 2020, pipped the Dutch earlier this year to win the FIH Pro League title.

Both teams last faced each other twice in February in Rourkela in the FIH Pro League. Australia won the first of those two matches 5-4, with Blake Govers and Jeremy Hayward scoring two goals each. In the second match, the Dutch won 5-3.

At the Olympics, the Kookaburras and the Netherlands will be competing in the quarter-finals for the third edition running.

The Dutch won 4-0 at Rio 2016, while the Aussies returned the favour at Tokyo 2020 by winning in a shootout. Both these teams met in a gold medal match as well at Athen 2004, which Australia won 2-1 after extra time.
