The men’s hockey team from India will play their inaugural game against New Zealand on July 27, Saturday, at the Paris Games 2024 in an attempt to win their eighth Olympic gold medal.
After winning eight gold medals in the Olympics (1928, 1932, 1936, 1948, 1952, 1956, 1964, and 1980), the Men in Blue are the most successful team ever.
This time, five members of Harmanpreet Singh’s Team India will be competing in their first Olympics. The captain, who debuted at the 2016 Olympics, is traveling to Paris to represent India for the third time this summer.
In relation to New Zealand, they have only won gold at the Olympics once, in 1976. Their quest for their first World Cup trophy continues. But in seven World Cup meetings, the team has faced India; winning three, losing three, and drawing one of those encounters.
In Pool B of the Paris Olympics 2024, India and New Zealand are paired with Belgium, Australia, Argentina, and Ireland—the current champions.
