India U17 Women's Team Ready for AFC Asian Cup Clash
The India U17 women's soccer team is set to compete in the AFC U17 Women's Asian Cup in China after a rigorous training regime. They will face Australia, Japan, and Lebanon in their group stages as they aim for a quarter-final spot. Matches are streamed live.
The India U17 women's national soccer team has arrived in Suzhou, China, to participate in the AFC U17 Women's Asian Cup 2026. Following an intensive training camp in Gurugram, the team is set to compete for the first time in 21 years, facing strong competitors like Australia, Japan, and Lebanon in Group B.
The tournament, hosted at Suzhou Taihu Football Sports Centre, will see the top two teams from each group and the two best third-placed teams advance to the quarter-finals. Successful quarter-finalists will earn a spot in the FIFA U17 Women's World Cup scheduled for 2026 in Morocco.
Led by head coach Pamela Conti, the Young Tigresses have had extensive preparations, including winning the SAFF U19 Women's Championship and gaining valuable experience from recent friendlies in Myanmar and Russia. Their matches, scheduled from May 2 to May 8, will be streamed live on the AFC Asian Cup YouTube Channel.
