History

edit

In September 2001, the United States had qualified to compete in the Intercontinental Cup in Abbeville and Amiens. Following the September 11 attacks however, the team were forced to withdraw due to the disruption of airline schedules.[4] Subsequently, the FIH announced that the seventh placed team at the Intercontinental Cup would face the United States in a qualifying playoff.[5]

India qualified for the playoff series as seventh placed team at the Intercontinental Cup, following Lithuania's withdrawal.[6]
