Asian Champions Trophy Rajgir: Former Asian Games gold medallist Japan and Paris Olympic Games silver medalist China arrived here on Thursday ahead of the Bihar Women’s Asian Champions Trophy Rajgir 2024. The premier Asian hockey competition will take place from November 11 to 20, featuring defending champions India, Malaysia, Korea and Thailand as well.
China have flown down to India with two players -- Fan Yunxia and Tan Jinzhuang, from the Paris Olympics silver-winning squad. They will begin their campaign by facing Thailand in their first match on November 11, with a relatively younger squad. Their encounter with India is scheduled for November 16.
“We are happy to be in India and receive such a warm welcome. All 25 players are very excited and looking forward to a good experience at the Bihar Women’s Asian Champions Trophy Rajgir 2024. We have got several younger players in the squad this time around and we will aim to get some minutes into their legs during the tournament,” China head coach Huang Yongsheng commented after arriving.
