Femina - July 2022

In this issue

It’s all about the blue this month! Our incredible hockey squad is competing at the World Cup that is being held in Spain and the Netherlands this month. They are currently ranked 6th in the FIH World Rankings, and are ranked as the best team in Asia! We also wanted to introduce you to the members of the team. Curiosity about them piqued post the Tokyo Olympics where their epic performance had us beaming with joy and pride. We wanted all of you to really get to know them through their stories.

We also took inspiration from them to feature the next best women in sports. Read on to find out more!
