India got gold and ticket to Paris Olympics. India continued its dominance in men’s hockey at the Asian Games and won the title for the fourth time. India defeated Japan 5–1 in the final.
India had earlier also won the Asian Games gold medal in 1966, 1998 and 2014.
The special significance of India’s title victory was that with this success it acquired the right to participate in the Olympic Games to be held in Paris next year. If India could not win the gold medal, it would have to go through the qualifying round and this path is not easy.

After this success, India has now got enough time to prepare for the Paris Olympics. Now, under the supervision of Craig Fulton, he can set out to change the color of the medal won in the Tokyo Olympics.
Since the time of Graham Reid, a change was visible in the Indian team that instead of scoring goals themselves, our players have started giving opportunities to players in better positions in the circle to score goals. There has been further improvement in this area since the arrival of Craig Fulton.
