Few people know that this country also won the field hockey championship. At the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Argentine footballers won the gold medal after defeating the growing strength of field hockey with the Belgian team – which brings the sport closer to football.

In the group, he lost 2-5 to Australia and 1-3 With India’s rebirth in the sport, He came out third thanks to victories over Japan and New Zealand. But in the quarter-finals, the Olympic champion defeated Germany 1-3. The Germans, who lost 5-2 to Argentine hockey players in the previous Olympics, had a huge success for themselves. This shows what happened to the championship team during these five years.

Great Britain played against India and Belgium against Spain, in the remaining quarter-finals.
