The Indian team won the title for the second consecutive time by defeating China 1-0 in the final of the Asian Champions Trophy 2024. Earlier, India also won this trophy in the year 2023. Neha Goyal, a resident of Sonipat, has been part of the Indian women’s team in the ACT 2024 tournament. She had a brilliant performance in the Asian Champions Trophy and played an important role in the team winning the title. Now a new stage of life will soon begin. She will marry Sunil, a resident of Karnal, in 7 rounds on November 24.
The hockey stick changed Neha’s life
The traditional wedding rituals began at Neha Goyal’s house. While the Haldi ceremony took place at the house of her coach, former Indian women’s team captain and Dronacharya awardee Pritam Siwach. After consent of both families, love marriage is now done as arranged marriage. Neha started her fight when she was just 7 years old. He has three sisters, who were raised by his mother, Savitri Devi. Neha says that to fulfill her little happiness, she also worked in a factory. When he reached sixth grade, he began playing with the hockey stick in hopes of getting good shoes and clothes. He never thought that this hockey stick would change his life. Coach Pritam Siwach recognized the hidden talent in him and gave him better training while perfecting him. With his blessing, today he managed to play hockey at the international level.
Happy to win the Asian Champions Trophy
Today Neha Goyal does not need any identity and shines like a star. Neha says that after winning the Asian Champion Trophy for the second time in a row, the happiness of marriage has also doubled. After fulfilling the responsibility of the country, she is now busy with marriage preparations. He believes that in the era of modernity joint families are disappearing. My wish was to have a family that lives together, this dream of mine will also come true now. Sunil’s family from Karnal also lives as a joint family.
He faced Sunil in the Under-17 tournament
Neha Goyal said she met Sunil while playing the national U-17 tournament. Our friendship started from there. He said that he used to affectionately call Sunil as Sukkad. Their nature is very calm and friendly. He is working in an audit role at CAG in Kolkata and will be transferred to Delhi after getting married. Neha said that in the year 2015 she hurt her leg and it broke. The doctor had forbidden him from playing in the future. Sunil had helped a lot then. Neha was taken to the doctor and he helped her with everything from physiotherapy to treatment. So he could get back on the field.
