Indian women’s team to have short camp before flying out to Australia

Hockey India will conduct a short camp in Bengaluru from Monday for the national women’s team ahead of its tour of Australia.

The preparatory camp is important as the team will travel to Australia for an exposure tour ahead of the FIH Nations Cup, which will take place in Auckland from June 15 to 21.

The Women’s World Cup 2026 is also scheduled in Belgium later this year, as well as the Asian Games.

The upcoming camp will feature the same set of 31 players who were part of the previous national camp held in April under Chief Coach Sjoerd Marijne.

“This will be a short camp ahead of our upcoming tour to Australia. The integral focus of the camp will be on the fitness aspects of the game and improving in those areas. We want to be consistent in this regard and take the next step as a team,” said Marijne in a statement.
