India’s women’s hockey team has reached the final at the Asian Games 2026 after beating South Korea in the semi-final, according to reports on Wednesday.

The victory keeps India’s gold-medal hopes alive in one of the country’s most followed team sports. Indian women’s hockey has risen steadily on the continental and world stage in recent years.

South Korea have traditionally been strong opponents in Asian hockey, making the semi-final win a significant result. Details of the scoreline were awaited in the reports available at the time of writing.

The final will be a chance for India to add another gold to a tally that has already reached 60 medals, including 10 gold, as of October 1.

Hockey remains special for India at the Asian Games — the men’s and women’s teams both carry the weight of the country’s Olympic heritage in the sport. The women’s team will now prepare for the title clash with confidence high after the Korea win.
