With just 100 days remaining until the start of their journey at the Paris Olympics, the Indian Men’s Hockey Team is poised for an exhilarating quest. After clinching a historic Bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the team now sets its sights on the ultimate prize: a Gold medal. To turn this aspiration into reality, India faces a formidable challenge. Standing in their path are the reigning Olympic Champions Belgium (World No. 2), along with tough contenders like Australia (World No. 3), Argentina (World No. 7), New Zealand (World No. 10), and Ireland (World No. 12). Securing at least a top-two finish in Pool B is imperative to progress to the Quarter-Finals. Meanwhile, Pool A comprises the world's top-ranked team, Netherlands, alongside Germany, Great Britain, Spain, South Africa, and hosts France, setting the stage for an intense battle in the 12-team men's hockey tournament at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The Indian Men’s Hockey Team will begin their campaign on 27th July against New Zealand, followed by a match against Argentina on 29th July before facing Ireland and Belgium on 30th July and 1st August.
