    Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey:  Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey hailed the historic Asian Games campaign after both the Indian men’s and women’s teams won gold medals and secured direct qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, saying the achievement reflected the hard work of the players, coaches and support staff.

    The men’s team retained its Asian Games title with a commanding 5-1 victory over Malaysia in the final at the Gifu Prefectural Green Stadium on Saturday, a day after the women’s team defeated defending champions and Paris Olympics silver medallists China 1-0 to reclaim the gold medal. “Both teams had the same aim: to win the Asian Games and then qualify for LA. Both teams have done it. It is a very proud moment for us,” Tirkey told IANS after the men’s final.
