BHUBANESWAR: Olympic champions Belgium will look to overcome a resilient Germany and become only the fourth nation to defend the FIH Men's Hockey World Cup title when the two sides clash in the final here on Sunday.
Pakistan, Australia and Germany have won back-to-back titles in the past and Belgium, who made it to the world's elite just around a decade ago, would seek to achieve that feat and defend their title, which they won in 2018, at the same Kalinga Stadium.
