Ahf asia cup bihar

AHF Asia Cup Bihar: Bronze medallists at the last two Olympics and the current Asia No. 1, Indian men’s hockey team, arrived in Patna, Bihar, on Monday for the Asia Cup 2025 in Rajgir, Bihar. India had won the bronze medal in the previous edition held in Jakarta (Indonesia), where a young team with 15 debutants showed heart in their campaign by finishing on the podium.

This time, however, with the World Cup qualification at stake, India has brought their best squad to the campaign and will be looking to showcase their A game in Rajgir.

Upon arriving this afternoon, fresh from high-intensity friendly matches against Australia in Perth, Chief coach Craig Fulton expressed his delight over playing in Bihar for the first time. “We are very happy to arrive in Bihar for this prestigious tournament. It is great that international hockey is being hosted here, and we want to inspire the people of this region with our game and create more fans for the sport,” Fulton stated.
