India's Women's and Men's Hockey Teams Exit 2026 World Cup, Set for Classification MatchesPreviousNext

India's women's hockey team was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup semifinals after a goalless draw against Australia, finishing level on points but edged out on goal difference. Coach Sjoerd Marijne acknowledged nerves and missed scoring opportunities as key factors. Despite the heartbreak, the team showed progress with draws against higher-ranked teams and will now compete for fifth place. Meanwhile, the men's team also exited after a 3-5 loss to Argentina, with both squads preparing for classification matches to determine final standings.
