New Delhi: India climbed up a rung to occupy the eighth spot in the men's section, while the eves remained static at 13th position in the latest International Hockey Federation (FIH) rankings issued yesterday.

The FIH today released the latest world rankings following the completion of four events comprising the Hockey World League Semi-Finals in Buenos Aires and Antwerp (men); Valencia and Antwerp (women). India men's hockey team's rise can be attributed to their fourth place finish in the World League Semi-Finals in Antwerp
