Indian men’s hockey team captain Harmanpreet Singh on Friday said his team’s target is to win every FIH Pro League match and finish on top of the league to earn a direct ticket to the 2026 World Cup. India will open their FIH Pro League campaign against Spain on Saturday in Bhubaneswar.

They will then play Spain yet again, on the very next day, followed by matches against Germany on February 16 and 19 in the opening leg of the India tour. “Our training is going well due to the Hockey India League, we’ve been preparing for months,” Harmanpreet said ahead of the FIH Pro League opener.
