Why We Use Named, Credentialed Authors

Google's Search Quality Rater Guidelines place enormous emphasis on Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness — what they call E-E-A-T. For sports information specifically, this means readers and search engines alike need to know that the person writing about field hockey has genuine knowledge of the sport, not just SEO targeting.

HWC 2026 Editorial Team has physically attended FIH World Cups. Bram van de Meer has coached on a field hockey pitch. These are not biographical embellishments — they are the reason the data on this portal is more reliable than sites that automate hockey statistics from unreliable third-party feeds.
