India Women’s Hockey Team Faces South Korea in Asian Games Semifinal
The unbeaten Indian women's hockey team will face South Korea in the Asian Games 2026 semifinal, aiming to end a 44-year wait for a second continental gold. India topped Pool B with five wins, including high-scoring victories, while South Korea finished second in Pool A. India’s attack, led by drag-flick specialist Deepika with 21 goals, has been a key strength. Both teams seek to reach the final at Kawasaki Juko Stadium, with India favored due to a higher world ranking and recent form.
