Indian hockey, once a dominant force in global sports, has been undergoing a significant revival. After their historic bronze medal finish at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, both the men’s and women’s teams are eyeing gold at Paris 2024. Led by captain Harmanpreet Singh, the men’s team has shown consistency in international competitions like the FIH Pro League, defeating top-ranked opponents such as Belgium and Australia.

The women’s team, under the leadership of Rani Rampal, has also seen considerable improvement. Their aggressive playstyle and tactical discipline were key to their fourth-place finish at Tokyo, and they’ve carried this momentum into 2023-2024, performing admirably in the Asia Cup and Commonwealth Games.

Hockey India is focusing on improving infrastructure and grassroots development across the country. With initiatives to develop young talent and invest in better facilities, Indian hockey is on a promising path. The anticipation surrounding the Paris 2024 Olympics is immense, with fans hopeful that the country can reclaim its past glory by clinching gold.
