Summary
India and China open their 2025 Hockey Asia Cup campaign against each other on the opening day of the tournament. The first match of both these sides will take place on India's National Sports Day which is celebrated on the birth anniversary of arguably the greatest hockey player of all time Major Dhyan Chand.
India are the favourites to win the tournament and they would want to show their superiority over the other sides starting with China. India are seventh-ranked side in the FIH rankings while the next best side are Malaysia who are at 12th.
China could pose a few problems to India like it did during the final of the Asian Champions Trophy last year. India could only get a 1-0 win in the final where China was defensively solid and quick in offense.
The Asia Cup is returning to India after 18 years. The last time the tournament was hosted in India was in Chennai in 2007 where the home side won.
