Jharkhand’s women’s hockey team emerged victorious at the 15th Junior National Women’s Hockey Championship held in Kakinanda, Andhra Pradesh, defeating Hockey Haryana 2-1 in the final. This win marked their second consecutive junior national title and their fourth overall, with earlier victories in 2018, 2019, 2024, and 2025. More impressively, in 2025, Jharkhand completed a clean sweep by winning national titles across all three categories — Senior, Junior, and Sub-junior. This remarkable achievement highlights the state’s strong grassroots development system, consistent performance, and growing dominance in women’s hockey on the national stage.
