England women's hopes at the FIH Hockey World Cup ended with a 0-0 draw against India on August 20. Finishing third in Pool D with four points, England will now enter a classification phase for teams ranked 9th to 16th. Their tournament included a 4-0 victory over South Africa but a loss to China, which diminished their chances of advancing. The team previously won gold at the Commonwealth Games in 2022 but has struggled in recent tournaments. England's men's team, in contrast, is advancing to the next stage after winning all their group matches.
