The placement schedule offers plenty of intrigue, with the fifth place bracket including standout contests between Japan and Jamaica as well as Puerto Rico v. England.
Live statistics will be available on worldlacrosse.sport, and streaming is available on WL TV with an event pass, currently priced at US$35.
Both semifinal matches are rematches of pool play. The United States defeated the Haudenosaunee 14-3 in pool play while Canada defeated Australia 13-4. The two favorites have met in the last six editions of the gold medal game.
Ireland takes on Germany in the bracket towards ninth place, with both teams pushing hard for a top ten finish. Ireland has finished seventh twice in the event while Germany last finished in the top ten in 2016.
Japan vs. Jamaica will be one of the matchups to watch between two of the most exciting teams on Jeju Island, both top-ten finishers from 2022. Jamaica stunned Ireland in the play-in round and will look to achieve another head-turning win against a Japan team looking to bounce back from its loss to Australia.
Puerto Rico and England both won their pools and play-in round match ups, and Puerto Rico will have its eyes on bumping the sixth place finishers from 2022 down in this edition of the standings, having finished eighth itself.
