India take on Argentina in a must-win game at the FIH Hockey World Cup 2026 in Amstelveen on Monday.
India head into this match after a 1-3 defeat to hosts and world No. 1 side the Netherlands in Pool E on Saturday, following an earlier loss to England in the first round. That result leaves Craig Fulton’s side bottom of the pool without a point from two matches.
The equation facing India is a daunting one.
To keep semi-final hopes alive, India needs to beat Argentina by a big margin while also depending on the Netherlands beating England in the other Pool E match being played the same evening. Anything short of that combination ends India’s tournament.
