Germany Matches Pakistan’s World Cup Record, Warning India

Germany won the 2026 hockey World Cup.

This gave Germany its fourth World Cup title, matching Pakistan’s record.

Pakistan has not won the tournament since 1994.

India has won the World Cup only once, in 1975.

India finished eighth at the latest tournament, even though it remains a strong team in Asia.

European countries have built strong leagues, coaching systems and player development programs.

These systems have helped Europe win more major tournaments.

India will have a chance to win the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya.

But the bigger challenge is becoming one of the best teams in the world again.
