Harmanpreet named FIH Player of the Year, Sreejesh best goalkeeper

Indian men's hockey team captain Harmanpreet Singh has been named Player of the Year 2024 while retired goalkeeper PR Sreejesh was awarded Goalkeeper of the Year accolade during the gala night of the 49th FIH Statutory Congress in Oman.

The winners were declared following a vote by an Expert Panel, National Associations - represented by their respective national teams' captains and coaches - fans and media.

Harmanpreet Singh was the standout player amongst the men's nominees, receiving the most votes across all categories of voters. Much like Yibbi Jansen in the women's competition, Indian captain Harmanpreet led the scoring charts at the Paris 2024 Olympics with 10 goals including goals in the quarterfinal, semi-final and both goals in the bronze medal match against Spain, which India won 2-1 to secure their second consecutive podium finish at the Olympics.
