A 4-1 win over Korea in the semi-finals had set India’s finals against China, in what can only be described as the toughest game of the tournament. Jugraj Singh’s lone goal late in the fourth quarter helped India overcome a fighting effort from the hosts and grab the victory. The win made India the most successful team in the tournament’s history with a record-extending five titles. India also became the only team to win the title five times, having retained the trophy for the second consecutive edition after their triumph in 2023. India had previously achieved back-to-back titles in 2016 and 2018. To reward the team’s efforts, Hockey India announced a cash prize of Rs 3 lakh for each player and Rs 1.5 lakh for each support staff member.
