Fih jr women

The Indian Junior Women: The Indian Junior Women’s Hockey Team is prepared to start its journey at the FIH Junior Women’s World Cup Santiago 2025, beginning on December 1 at the Centro Deportivo de Hockey Césped, Estadio Nacional, in Chile.

India, under Captain Jyoti Singh, will play Namibia in their first match. The teams haven't recently faced each other in FIH events, making this an exciting opener as India aims to overcome initial nerves in this prestigious global tournament.

The team reached Santiago a week early to acclimatise and finalise their preparations before the competition. This edition is historic because it is the first time the tournament includes 24 teams, expanding from the previous 16-team format used until 2023.
