The Kazakhstan senior men's hockey team is in India for a high-performance training camp at the Sports Authority of India's Northern Regional Centre in Sonipat, Haryana, from March 10 to 21.

The camp, held at one of India's premier hockey training centres, offers world-class facilities and an intensely competitive environment, providing Kazakhstan an ideal platform to fine-tune their skills ahead of the Asian Games Qualifiers.

Kazakhstan coach Olga Urmanova said, 'We are very pleased to be here at the Sports Authority of India Northern Regional Centre, Sonipat, which has been extremely hospitable to our team.'

The team has already played several friendly matches against local teams and the level of competition has been very high, which is exactly what they need at this stage of their preparation.

Kazakhstan has shown significant progress in recent years, finishing fourth at the AHF Cup 2025 in Jakarta and gaining valuable exposure at the Asia Cup 2025 in Rajgir.

HI president Dilip Tirkey stated, 'We are delighted to welcome the Kazakhstan senior men's hockey team to India. Such training engagements not only contribute to the growth of hockey globally but also strengthen international sporting relationships.'
