Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. March 8 to 14, 2026B. 8 से 14 March 2026
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is March 8 to 14, 2026.
According to the source, Hockey India signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Telangana to host the Women's 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup Qualifiers in Hyderabad.
The tournament is scheduled from March 8 to March 14, 2026.
Eight teams are listed as participants: India, England, Scotland, Korea, Italy, Uruguay, Wales and Austria.
This team list is important because objective questions can ask either the number of teams or identify a country that is not part of the source list.
The top three teams from the Hyderabad qualifier will qualify for the FIH Hockey World Cup.
According to the source, the World Cup will be held in Belgium and the Netherlands from August 15 to 30, 2026.
Thus, students should distinguish the qualifier venue and dates from the main World Cup venue and dates.
Qualifiers → Hyderabad, India → March 8-14, 2026.
World Cup → Belgium & Netherlands → August 15-30, 2026.
The source states that Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy emphasised the State's commitment to sports and women's empowerment.
FIH President Tayyab Ikram praised Hyderabad as a proven host city.
Hockey India President Dr.
Dilip Tirkey stated that the event would inspire young players and strengthen India's hockey ecosystem.
The news also complements the appointment of Sjoerd Marijne as coach of the Indian Women's Hockey Team, because the source states that he will guide India during these qualifiers.
For quick revision: Hockey India + Telangana Government → MoU → Women's 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup Qualifiers → Hyderabad → March 8-14 → eight teams → top three qualify → World Cup Belgium & Netherlands → August 15-30.
Since the question asks for the qualifier dates, option B is correct.
सही उत्तर March 8 से 14, 2026 है। Source के अनुसार Hockey India ने Government of Telangana के साथ Memorandum of Understanding sign किया ताकि Women's 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup Qualifiers को Hyderabad में host किया जा सके। Tournament March 8 से March 14, 2026 तक आयोजित होना है। Source आठ participating teams list करता है: India, England, Scotland, Korea, Italy, Uruguay, Wales और Austria। Number of teams और participating countries दोनों exam के लिए important हैं। Hyderabad qualifier की top three teams FIH Hockey World Cup के लिए qualify करेंगी। Source के अनुसार main World Cup Belgium और Netherlands में August 15 से 30, 2026 तक आयोजित होगा। इसलिए qualifier और main tournament की dates/venues को अलग रखें। Qualifiers → Hyderabad → March 8-14, 2026। World Cup → Belgium & Netherlands → August 15-30, 2026। Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy ने sports और women's empowerment के प्रति State commitment emphasise किया। FIH President Tayyab Ikram ने Hyderabad को proven host city बताया। Hockey India President Dr. Dilip Tirkey के अनुसार event young players को inspire करेगा और India के hockey ecosystem को strengthen करेगा। यह news Sjoerd Marijne की Indian Women's Hockey Team coach के रूप में वापसी से भी linked है, क्योंकि source बताता है कि वह Hyderabad qualifiers में team को guide करेंगे। Quick revision: Hockey India + Telangana Government → MoU → Women's 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup Qualifiers → Hyderabad → March 8-14 → 8 teams → top 3 qualify → World Cup Belgium & Netherlands → August 15-30। इसलिए option B सही है।
