The 2025 Men's EuroHockey Championship III was the 11th edition of the Men's EuroHockey Championship III, the third level of the men's European field hockey championships organized by the European Hockey Federation.
It was held in Kırklareli, Turkey from 28 July to 2 August 2025.[1] It was the first time Turkey hosted a Men's EuroHockey Championship event.[2] Ukraine won a record-extending third Championship III title by defeating the hosts Turkey 9–5 in the final. Lithuania won the bronze medal as they defeated Bulgaria 3–1.[3]
Qualification
The eight teams qualified based on their performance in the 2025 Men's EuroHockey Championship Qualifiers, with the teams finishing sixth and lower qualifying for the Championship III. Ukraine originally qualified for the Championship II but withdrew and Turkey was asked to take over the place but declined. The second highest-ranked team in the qualifiers Croatia accepted the invitation and was promoted. Gibraltar withdrew and when Ukraine wanted to rejoin the competition they were allowed back in the Championship III.[1]
