The Indians are clubbed along side reigning champions Belgium, mighty Australia, Argentina, New Zealand and Ireland in a tough Pool B, while Pool A consists of Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, Spain, South Africa and hosts France. Four teams from each pool will progress to the quarterfinals.
Under Fulton, there has been a shift in strategy — from emphasising attack to also prioritising defence, while being flexible at the same time. India secured direct ticket to Paris by winning the Asian Games gold in 2023, and has had decent results in the build-up to the Games. In the Bhubaneswar and Rourkela legs of the FIH Pro League in February, India beat Spain twice, won and lost against the Netherlands once each, lost against Australia twice, and beat Ireland twice.
