India Women’s Hockey Team Defeats South Korea to Reach Asian Games Final
The Indian women's hockey team defeated South Korea 2-0 in the Asian Games 2026 semifinal, with goals from Ishika Chaudhary and captain Salima Tete. After a goalless first half marked by strong Indian pressure and multiple penalty corners, India broke the deadlock late in the third quarter and secured the win in the fourth. This victory advances India to the final against defending champions China, bringing them one win away from ending a 44-year gold medal drought at the Asian Games and securing an Olympic quota for 2028.
