    FIH Hockey Women: Indian women’s hockey team goalkeeper Savita Punia says India will enter the FIH Hockey Women’s World Cup 2026 with renewed belief after winning the FIH Nations Cup, with the veteran preparing for her third consecutive World Cup and confident that the side has the quality to compete with every opponent in the tournament.

    For Punia, the upcoming global event carries added personal significance. Having represented India at two previous World Cups, the experienced goalkeeper views a third appearance as the result of years of commitment and as an opportunity to shoulder greater responsibility within the squad.

    “Playing in the World Cup means a lot to me because this is my third World Cup. For any hockey player, the World Cup and the Olympics are the two biggest stages. Every athlete dreams of representing their country on those platforms. To be part of a third consecutive World Cup is a huge achievement. I have worked extremely hard to get here, and in every edition, I have tried to give my best for the team. This time, I have more experience, and that gives me confidence. As a senior player, I want to lead by example, stay calm under pressure, and help the team perform at its best,” Savita told JioStar.
