The Women's Hockey League 2024-25 marks a historic moment as the first-ever professional hockey league for women, ushering in a new era for women in hockey.
Both Rarh Bengal Tigers and Soorma Hockey Club are formidable teams, set to bring intense competition to the tournament.
Udita Duhan is leading Rarh Bengal Tigers in the Women's Hockey League 2024-25. With 123 caps since her 2017 debut, she heads a team that looks strong and tactically sound, backed by Australian coach Glenn Turner, a two-time World Cup winner and Olympic bronze medalist.
On the other hand, Soorma Hockey Club bring strong experience and shouldn’t be underestimated. Co-captained by Savita Punia and Indian captain Salima Tete, the team has solid leadership. Tete is likely to lead on-field, with the home crowd backing her.
Former Olympian Jude Menezes, who coached Japan at the 2024 Paris Olympics, will guide the team.
