India Relegated from FIH Pro League After Loss

The Indian women's hockey team has been relegated from the FIH Pro League after a 3-0 defeat to China in Berlin, marking their seventh straight loss and leaving them bottom of the nine-team standings with 10 points from 15 games. England secured their survival by defeating Germany, which ensured India dropped to the second-tier FIH Nations Cup for the 2025-26 season. Despite some strong saves by goalkeeper Savita, India missed key opportunities, including a penalty stroke. China's win was secured by goals from Chen Yang, Zhang Ying, and Anhul Yu, highlighting their progress. The relegation battle also involved Germany and England, but India's poor European leg results proved decisive. Elsewhere, the Netherlands women continue to lead the standings, and England's men finished seventh in their league.
