India face Germany in the semi-final of the FIH Junior Hockey World Cup at the Mayor Radhakrishnan Hockey Stadium in Chennai on Sunday (December 7).
India, two-time champions, are aiming for their first title since 2016, while Germany enter the contest as the most successful side in the tournament’s history with seven titles.
India reached the semifinals after topping their pool, following wins over Oman, Chile, and Switzerland, scoring 29 goals without conceding. Their quarterfinal against Belgium turned into a dramatic battle, with India overturning a deficit to lead 2-1 before Belgium forced a late equaliser.
The hosts held their nerve in the shootout, winning 4-3 to book their place in the last four.
Germany followed a dominant pool stage of their own, defeating South Africa, Ireland, and Canada with a combined tally of 15 goals while letting in just one.
Their quarterfinal proved far tighter, as a resilient French side pushed them to a 2-2 draw in regulation time. Germany progressed after winning the shootout 3-1.
Both teams bring in-form attackers into the semifinal. Germany’s captain Ben Hasbach has scored four goals so far, including a hat-trick against Canada.
For India, Dilraj Singh and Manmeet Singh lead the scoring charts with five goals each. Goalkeepers Bikramjit Singh and Princedeep Singh, along with defender Rohit, will be central to India’s plans as they prepare for one of their toughest tests of the tournament.
With PR Sreejesh guiding the group from the sidelines and Mirko Stenzel leading Germany, the semifinal promises a high-intensity contest between two sides who have built strong momentum through the competition.
The winner will move one step closer to lifting the Junior World Cup trophy in Chennai.
