Twenty-five officials from 14 countries have been selected for next year's Hockey Women's World Cup in London.

Both men and women feature in the line-up as part of what is being billed as the International Hockey Federation's (FIH) "Equally Amazing" reputation.

Australia’s Tammy Standley will assume the role of technical delegate.

She undertook the same role at the recent  Hockey World League Final in Auckland.

Rio 2016 Olympic Games technical delegate Sheila Brown from South Africa has been appointed as technical officer along with United States' Renee Zelkin, Argentina’s Lorena Rinaldini, England’s Sam Stickland, New Zealand’s Gavin Hawke and Anjali Sharma from India.

The Women's World Cup will take place at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park between July 21 and August 5.

FIH Hockey Stars Umpire Award winners Laurine Delforge and Michelle Joubert will be among umpires for the event.

Belgium's Delforge received the 2016 FIH award after South Africa's Joubert was the previous year's recipient.

Kelly Hudson of New Zealand is another "Golden Whistle" official who, like Joubert, have officiated at over 100 international matches.

The Netherlands will start as defending champions after beating Australia 2-0 in the 2014 final in The Hague.
