India’s women’s hockey team bowed out of the FIH Hockey World Cup 2026 after playing out a 0-0 draw against Australia in Amstelveen.
India needed a victory to reach the semi-finals, while Australia could progress with a draw because of their superior goal tally. Despite creating pressure and searching for a late breakthrough, India could not find the decisive goal.
The result ended India’s hopes of reaching the last four, while Australia advanced to the semi-finals. India will now compete in the classification matches as they look to finish their World Cup campaign strongly.
