NEW DELHI: The Indian junior women’s hockey team is all set to tour Australia for a five-match series, scheduled to take place at the National Hockey Centre in Canberra from 26th September to 2nd October.
The matches will be played on 26th September, 27th September, 29th September, 30th September, and 2nd October.
During the tour, India will play their first three matches against the Australia junior women’s team, followed by two matches against the local side Canberra Chill, a club that competes in Australia’s Hockey One League.
This will be a significant exposure tour for the Indian Junior Women’s Team as they continue their preparations for the FIH Hockey Women’s Junior World Cup 2025, which will be hosted in Santiago, Chile, in December this year.
The tour is supported by ‘Anandana’ – a Coca-Cola India Foundation, whose backing has enabled the young side to compete against one of the top hockey-playing nations in the world.
The series will offer the Indian team a chance to test themselves in challenging conditions and gain invaluable international match experience against the Australian Junior Women’s team, who is known for its fast-paced and physical brand of hockey. For many of the players, this will also be their first overseas exposure at the junior level, making it a crucial step in their growth and development.
