Hockey India has scheduled a Senior Women’s National Coaching Camp from May 11 to 20, 2023, in New Delhi, as part of the team’s preparations for upcoming competitions. The camp is essential for the team, which will embark on an exposure tour to Australia before participating in the FIH Nations Cup in Auckland, New Zealand, from June 15 to 21. This tournament is particularly significant as the winner will earn direct qualification for the 2026-27 FIH Hockey Pro League, which in turn offers a pathway to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The camp will include the same 31 players who participated in the previous national camp, focusing on enhancing fitness, tactical skills, and team combinations. The squad features notable players across all positions, including goalkeepers Savita and Bichu Devi Kharibam, and captain Salima Tete in midfield. Chief Coach Sjoerd Marijne highlighted the importance of fitness and consistency as the team aims to improve ahead of crucial fixtures, including the 2026 FIH Women’s World Cup in Belgium and the Netherlands in August.
