The best men’s lacrosse teams from around the world arrived in San Diego this week for the 2023 World Lacrosse Men’s Championship.
The Haudenosaunee Nationals play their first of four round-robin games Friday in a matchup against England. The team will then play the United States, Canada and Australia in consecutive days over the weekend, wrapping up round-robin play on Monday.
The tournament began Wednesday with the United States beating Canada 7-5 and pool play concludes Monday. After round-robin pool play, the 14 teams with the most accumulated points advance to the championship bracket.
The Haudenosaunee Nationals are ranked third in the world, behind only Canada and the United States.
World Lacrosse CEO Jim Scherr said this year’s field of teams may be the most competitive it’s ever been.
“We’re expecting lacrosse to showcase itself yet again as a premier sport to a global audience and are excited for fans to enjoy a first-class experience,” he said on the World Lacrosse website.
