The University of Western Australia's Superturf will host two hockey internationals during the next month featuring the women's national team the Hockeyroos.
Four international teams will visit Perth in February and early March to play the Hockeyroos and Kookaburras as well as practice matches in the lead up to the World Cup.
On Sunday, February 21, the Hockeyroos take on Azerbaijan in a Test match at UWA while on Tuesday, March 2, they meet Korea in a friendly match at UWA.
The Hockeyroos are one of Australia's most successful sporting teams. Their three gold medals from the past four Olympic Games, two World Cups, six Champions Trophies and two Commonwealth Games golds highlight the team's outstanding run of success.
UWA engineering student Fergus Kavanagh and UWA graduate Ross Meadows are also expected to play in the men's national team the Kookaburras when they meet New Zealand for two Test matches, to be played at Perth Hockey Stadium on Wednesday, February 17 and Friday, February 19.
