    ‘The Hope Is To Bring The Trophy Home’: Captain Harmanpreet Eyes End To India’s 51-year Hockey WC Wait

    FIH Hockey World Cup: India men’s hockey captain Harmanpreet Singh has set his sights on ending the country’s 51-year wait for the FIH Hockey World Cup title, saying the team is determined to turn its recent Olympic success into a sustained push for the biggest prize when the World Cup gets underway.

    India have not won the men’s Hockey World Cup since their triumph in 1975, and Harmanpreet believes the current squad has both the experience and confidence to challenge for the title. The captain pointed to the team’s back-to-back Olympic medals at Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 as a source of motivation ahead of the tournament.

    “The World Cup means a lot to all of us because after this World Cup, you never know what might happen. There are several senior players in the team as well, so for us, this is a great opportunity. With all the hard work we’ve put in and how we have trained, we believe that we can definitely do this. And that’s our only aim, to give our best and win a medal. Of course, winning back-to-back medals in Tokyo and Paris has definitely been a very motivating factor for us,” Harmanpreet told JioStar.
