So what if the national team didn't win a single trophy in the past year at the international arena, here is an event that'll ensure that an Indian team takes the trophy to its credit - we are talking about the 61st National Hockey Championship (Men) for Rangaswami Cup of which the Delhi League matches from the North Zone have brought forth 4 winners out of the participating 16 departmental teams - Indian Oil, Air India, Punjab and Sind Bank and Namdhari XI - which will participate in the super league matches to be held in Hyderabad.
A total of 51 teams representing the States, the UTs and the Departments will match sticks with each other over the next 14 days.
The Hyderabad League matches for 37 teams organized in 8 pools will be held from 17th March to 22nd March at the Sports Complex, Gachibowli, and the Hockey Stadium, Begumpet. The 16 winners will then knock out 8 teams from amongst themselves on the 23rd, thus making way for the super leaguers.
At the Sports Complex, Gachibowli, the 4 best teams of the Delhi League and the 8 from the Hyderabad League will play the Super League from the 25th to the 27th of March. After the two semifinals on the 29th March, the losing semi-finalists will vie for the bronze before the fate of the gold is decided in the final match at the Gachibowli Stadium on the 30th of March.
The Schedule:
Venue : 1) SAAP Sports Complex, Gachibowli
Venue : 2) Hockey Stadium, Begumpet
