Indian Women’s Hockey Team Returns to Training Camp in Bengaluru

Hockey India announced the 33-member Indian Women’s Hockey Team that will train in the National Women’s Coaching Camp from July 1 to August 31 in SAI Bengaluru. The team, led by captain Salima Tete and vice-captain Navneet Kaur, recently competed in the FIH Hockey Pro League 2023/24 season in London and Antwerp.

Chief Coach Harendra Singh commented on the team’s progress, saying, “We recently travelled to Antwerp and London for the Europe leg of the Pro League, and while the results were not in our favour, we learned a lot as a team. On several occasions, we were leading, and we proactively searched and threatened to score while looking for an equalizer. These are good signs to have in the initial stages of a rebuild, and I am sure the Indian Women’s Hockey Team will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.”
