This marks the first time the tournament is being hosted in India, and it&#8217;s a significant occasion for the Tamil Nadu capital as it welcomes an international hockey tournament after a gap of over 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The timing of the tournament is crucial as it comes less than two months before the Asian Games in China, where the gold medalists directly qualify for the Paris Olympics next year. This provides essential practice for the teams participating in both events, which are scheduled from September 23 to October 8. Moreover, the tournament serves as the first home event for India&#8217;s new chief coach, Craig Fulton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Indian Men&#39;s Hockey Team lands in Chennai with aim to achieve historic feat at Hero Asian Champions Trophy Chennai 2023<br><br>Hosts India will open their campaign against China on 3rd August. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/HockeyIndia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#HockeyIndia<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AsianChampionsTrophy?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AsianChampionsTrophy<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Hockey?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Hockey<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Chennai?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Chennai<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/m1Ve6gksPM\">pic.twitter.com\/m1Ve6gksPM<\/a><\/p>&mdash; nnis (@nnis_sports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nnis_sports\/status\/1686253133939568640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 1, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Pakistan Men&#39;s Hockey Team has arrived for the Hero Asian Champions Trophy Chennai 2023.<br><br>credit : Hockey India <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8gv67E2auC\">pic.twitter.com\/8gv67E2auC<\/a><\/p>&mdash; industrialpunch (@IndustrialPunch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IndustrialPunch\/status\/1686442815088439296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 1, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The competing nations in the tournament include India, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Pakistan, and China.
