I'm not against Indian hockey. I'm disappointed because I care.
My hockey knowledge may be limited, and this is just my opinion. (Armchair coaches, you can skip this.)
The last two FIH Pro League seasons have exposed the reality—we finished 8th. If not for Ireland and Pakistan, the standings could have looked even worse.
Don’t tell me that we are trying new players or we are applying new strategy’s 🙃
Yes, we won the Asian Champions Trophy and the Asia Cup. Congratulations to the team. 👏 But let's be honest: those tournaments are no longer the benchmark for judging where Indian hockey stands globally.
Now the usual explanation will be:
"We're focusing on the Asian Games because it's the Olympic qualifier."
That's understandable—but the Pro League table doesn't lie. It showed exactly where we stand against the world's best.
our junior team can beat Pakistan, it also shows the gap between India and the rest of Asia. Winning Asian tournaments is expected. The real challenge is consistently competing with the top teams in the world.
So here's the question:
Are we spending €24,286 ( approximately 25 laks ) a month on a foreign chief coach just to dominate Asian competitions? Or are we investing to become a genuine medal contender at the World Cup, Pro League, and Olympics?
Being satisfied with regional success while struggling against the world's elite shouldn't be the standard for Indian hockey.
Supporting the team doesn't mean staying silent. Real supporters ask tough questions because they want higher standards—not lower expectations.
