The Indian men's hockey team emerged victorious in the Asian Champions Trophy 2024 final, defeating host nation China 1-0 at the Moqi Hockey Training Base in Hulunbuir on Tuesday.

This triumph marks India's fifth Asian Champions Trophy title, solidifying their position as the most successful team in the competition's history. India's previous titles were secured in 2011, 2016, 2018 (shared with Pakistan), 2023, and now 2024. This victory also represents India's sixth appearance in the Asian Champions Trophy final out of eight editions held to date.
