Bhubaneswar, Oct 28 (UNI) Russian Men's Hockey Team arrived last night for the FIH Olympic Qualifiers to be played here at the iconic Kalinga Stadium on November 1 and 2 against hosts India.
"It is exciting to return to India. We had a great experience last time playing here in front of very passionate hockey fans. Although the weather in June was very hot for us, we are hopeful this time of the year is cooler here and we can get acclimatised early," stated the skipper on their team's arrival here.
