Soorma hockey club men

Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium: Soorma Hockey Club are placed sixth on the points table after two matches in the Hockey India League (HIL) 2024-25 being held at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium in Rourkela. So far, Soorma have earned two points courtesy of their 1 - 1 (4-1 SO) penalty shootout victory against Tamil Nadu Dragons in the opening game.

“I think the biggest takeaway from the first week of the tournament is that it's going to be an end-to-end season where we have to be mindful of small moments that make a big difference. I think we've played well in the two games; we've created chances but there's too many moments that we forced a little and allowed the opposition to get on the scoreboard,” Soorma Hockey Club Men's Head Coach Jeroen Baart shared.

In Soorma’s last match against the UP Rudras, they conceded a goal just two minutes in but responded well by gaining control over the game. However, Victor Wegnez picked up a knock and had to pull out of the game and UP Rudras’ Lars Balk was efficient in closing down numerous penalty corners, ultimately causing Soorma to lose the game 3-0.
