FIH Hockey World Cup Belgium: As Japan men’s hockey team arrived in Bihar ahead of the Asia Cup Rajgir, aiming for their maiden podium finish in the tournament's history, skipper Raiki Fujishima said the team's main focus is to secure FIH 2026 World Cup qualification by winning the continental event.

Despite being a consistent contender, Japan have finished fourth on five occasions in the tournament’s history but are yet to claim a podium finish. This time, they will be determined to break the jinx and secure a top-three spot.
