During the FIH Congress, held in its centennial year, International Hockey Federation (FIH) President Tayyab Ikram and French Hockey Federation President Isabelle Jouin presented Hockey India with a special award.
This honor recognized the historic achievement of the Indian Men's Hockey Team, which won a Bronze Medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in August.
The Indian team made history by securing their second consecutive Olympic medal, the first time such a feat has been accomplished in 52 years, following a thrilling 2-1 victory over Spain in the bronze medal match.
Captain Harmanpreet Singh stood out as the tournament's leading goalscorer, netting 10 goals, making him the only player to reach double digits in the men's tournament.
The prestigious award was received by Hockey India Secretary General Shri Bhola Nath Singh alongside star drag-flicker Harmanpreet Singh and goalkeeper PR Sreejesh during this momentous ceremony.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to FIH for this wonderful recognition, making the 100th year of international hockey even more special for India," Hockey India said in a press release.
