MUMBAI: Karbonn Mobiles has announced its association with the 5-match Test series between Indian men and South African men and a 4-match series between Indian women and Azerbaijanian women, hosted by Hockey India.

To be named the Karbonn Cup, the Test series is to be held from the 15-22 January at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium, New Delhi.
 
Karbonn Mobiles MD Pradeep Jain said, “We are pleased to host the Karbonn Cup and extend our support to the national sport. We being an Indian brand and Hockey being the national sport, the connection goes a long way in establishing the lost glory of Indian Hockey. India has always had a great tradition for hockey especially at the Olympic Games. We have won 8 gold medals at the Olympics and this is the highest among all national teams. This year 2012 being an Olympic year, the Karbonn Cup is all about supporting the Indian teams on the road to the London Olympics later this year.”

The tournament apart from providing fast paced hockey action will also provide the Indian men’s and women’s Hockey team with the opportunity to prepare themselves for the Olympic Qualifiers to be held later in the year.
