India Wins Fifth Asian Champions Trophy

India won their fifth Asian Champions Trophy title with a narrow 1-0 victory over China in the final held in Hulunbuir. Despite dominating possession, India struggled to break through a resolute Chinese defense bolstered by excellent goalkeeping from Wang Weihao. The decisive moment came in the 51st minute when Jugraj Singh scored a rare field goal off a pass from captain Harmanpreet Singh. China, the lowest-ranked team in the tournament, put up a commendable fight but couldn't find the equalizer. Coach Craig Fulton praised India's resilience and acknowledged the tough challenge posed by China. This victory caps a successful year for India, who also won a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics.
