India's U-18 Women's Hockey Team Wins Asia Cup Bronze, Eyes 2032 and 2036 OlympicsPreviousNext

India's women's Under-18 hockey team won the bronze medal at the Asia Cup in Japan, scoring 36 goals in the tournament. Coached by former captain Rani Rampal in her first major role, the team showed strong attacking and defensive skills. Rampal highlighted the potential of many young players, some as young as 14, to form the core of India's squads for the 2032 and 2036 Olympics. The team advanced through pool stages, lost narrowly to China in the semifinals, and secured bronze by defeating South Korea.
