This appointment comes as India prepares for the <em>FIH Women\u2019s Hockey World Cup Qualifiers<\/em> in March 2026 \u2014 a crucial event for global ranking and qualification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sjoerd_Marijnes_Coaching_Legacy\"><\/span><strong>Sjoerd Marijne\u2019s Coaching Legacy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sjoerd Marijne, a seasoned Dutch hockey coach, previously led the national side between 2017 and 2021.
