Hockey: India Eye World Cup Berth In Depleted Asia Cup 2025
FIH Hockey Pro League European: On a day on which India's and world hockey's greatest player was born, the country will launch its bid to gain a direct entry into next year's senior men's hockey World Cup by winning the Asia Cup 2025 here.
August 29, which is celebrated in India as the National Sports Day, is the birth anniversary of the legendary Dhyan Chand, who won three gold medals in the 1928, 1932, and 1936 Olympics and is still considered the greatest player that has ever played the game -- the Wizard of Hockey, who possessed mesmerising skills and displayed ice-cool nerves on the field.
It could not have been a better day to inspire India to score a big win in their attempt to dominate the prestigious Continental championship, the winner of which will bag a direct berth in the World Cup.
