India, 20 December 2025 — The Indian women's hockey team claimed a significant victory over South Korea in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025, held in Muscat, Oman. India triumphed with a score of 3-1 in a match played on Tuesday, showcasing a strong performance that boosts their chances in the tournament. Forward Vandana Katariya led the team with two goals, while Sangita Kumari added another, securing India's spot in the semi-finals.
The match saw a spirited start from both teams, but it was India that capitalized on their opportunities, displaying superior tactical play. The win comes as a crucial moment for the Indian team, which is aiming to reclaim the title they last won in 2017.
South Korea, known for their defensive prowess, struggled to contain India's aggressive forward line, and despite several counter-attacks, they managed to score only one goal.
With this victory, India remains unbeaten in the tournament, having previously defeated Malaysia and Japan in the group stages. The team will face either China or Japan in the semi-finals, depending on the outcome of the remaining matches.
The Asia Cup serves as a vital platform for Asian teams, with the top two teams qualifying for the FIH Women's World Cup. India's consistent performance in the Asia Cup is seen as a promising sign ahead of the World Cup.
