India Seeks to End Losing Streak Against Argentina

The Indian men's hockey team suffered its third consecutive defeat in the European leg of the FIH Pro League, losing 3-4 to Argentina after close losses to the Netherlands. This defeat has intensified concerns about India's defense and penalty corner conversion, especially their tendency to concede late goals. Captain Harmanpreet Singh stressed the importance of the upcoming rematch against Argentina as India aims to end its losing streak and improve its standing for 2026 World Cup qualification. Despite setbacks, India retains a psychological advantage with two wins and a draw against Argentina in their last three major matches. The ongoing series is being widely covered in India, underscoring its significance this June. Meanwhile, Indian athletes are also competing in other international events, such as the Munich World Cup in shooting and athletics.
