India Men's Hockey Team Exits 2026 World Cup After Loss to Argentina
India's men's hockey team was eliminated from the 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup semifinals after a 3-5 loss to Argentina in their final Pool E match in Amstelveen. India needed to win by at least two goals and rely on favorable results elsewhere but conceded early and struggled defensively. Despite late goals from Sukhjeet Singh and Hardik Singh, India finished last in Pool E with zero points, extending their 51-year wait for a World Cup medal. The Indian women's team also exited after a goalless draw with Australia.
