Having made history by winning its first Asia Cup title earlier this year, the Indian women’s junior hockey team has set its sights on conquering the world.
In 1989, the Indian Women Hockey Federation organized Junior Asia Cup in Delhi with a prime motive of qualifying for the year’s and the first-ever Junior World Cup. Having lost the semifinal, it failed to achieve the motive. It took another 12 years for it to qualify. India for the first time took part in the Junior World Cup in 2001 when the field was expanded to 16 from hitherto 12.
Reserved for players below 21 years old, the Netherlands is the most successful team in the tournament. The peak of India's performance was in the 2013 edition, where they won a bronze medal.

We know that this sport of stick and ball began, like many others, in England. But the story of how the activity spread to every corner of America is different. Guatemala is one of the countries in the Federation that, less than two decades ago, began to give more prominence to the discipline. The reason behind it originates from the idea of a group of friends, including the current president of the National Association.

Traditional rivals India and Pak – both with all win record here – will clash today in what can be categorized as a prestigious fight. India’s morale is up here with the stupendous stuff they dished out the other day against the defending champions Japan (4-2). Where as, despite being the most inexperienced here among the past Asian Games medallist teams (India, Mal, Japan, South Korea), Pakistan can be proud of three wins they put up here, scoring as many as 34 goals while conceding, much like India, a mere 3.

BENGALURU: Foreign coaches have been Indian hockey’s go-to professionals ever since Germany’s Gerhard Rach took over the team bound for the Athens Olympics in 2004. For nearly two decades now, the men’s team has seen as many as 10 foreign coaches. A change, perhaps, would be welcome if Dilip Tirkey’s views are anything to go by.
