Germany vs. India in the second semi-final of the FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifier will take place shortly. There is a great deal of excitement among the fans regarding this game. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the prince of Ranchi, has stoked this passion even more. Dhoni arrived at the stadium to witness this game. The stadium could immediately hear the echo of Dhoni-Dhoni as soon as he arrived. Ajaynath Shahdev and Minister Banna Gupta are among the numerous others who have arrived in addition to Dhoni. India lost its opening game but has since rallied magnificently.
In spite of the thrilling atmosphere and the presence of cricket legend MS Dhoni in the stands, this time the Indian team was unable to guarantee their place in the Paris 2024 Olympics. India bravely battled against its more favored opponent, but after the USA prevailed 2-1 in the other semifinal, they now have to win again against Japan to secure third place and the last Olympic spot available.
Germany defeated India 3–4 in a penalty shootout during the FIH Women’s Hockey Olympic Qualifiers. The teams were tied 2-2 in regulation time, so the game was extended to a penalty shootout. Germany’s victory over India guaranteed them a spot in the Olympics in Paris later this year.
