The ten-day event will see Europe's top eight men's and top eight women's teams battle it out for the respective continental titles at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the national governing body is now seeking commercial partners to support the competition.

"Building on London 2012 and the Commonwealth Games this summer, the EuroHockey Championships provides another huge opportunity for international hockey to be showcased on home soil and we look forward to it engaging and inspiring partners and fans alike," says Jonathan Cockcroft, England Hockey's commercial and membership director.

"England Hockey adopts a very collaborative approach with its commercial partners and we would work closely with all those involved to deliver against their individual objectives."

As well as the title sponsor, England Hockey is also looking for official suppliers for the event, which is expected to attract 30,000 spectators in London and be watched by thousands as it is broadcast across Europe - the last edition in Belgium in 2011 garnered a television audience of 105 million.
