The Indian senior women’s football team is set to play two friendly matches against Uzbekistan on May 31 and June 4 in Tashkent. These matches are part of the upcoming FIFA women’s international match window.
30 probables announced for the Women’s Football Team
Head coach Langam Chaoba Devi announced a probables list of 30 players on Monday, May 6, 2024. These players will join the national team camp beginning on May 16 in Hyderabad. The two-week training camp will be held at Sreenidi Deccan FC’s Deccan Arena in Hyderabad.
The team, fondly known as the Blue Tigresses, will leave for Uzbekistan on May 29. India was last in action during the Turkish Women’s Cup in February, where they finished runners-up to Kosovo in Alanya.
India last faced Uzbekistan in November 2023 at the AFC Women’s Olympic Qualifiers Round 2, which was also held in Tashkent. The hosts won 3-0 on that occasion. India is currently ranked 66th in the FIFA World Rankings, while Uzbekistan is 48th.
Mr M Satyanarayan, AIFF Acting Secretary General, said, “This is the second international trip during the FIFA match window for the senior women’s team this year after the runners-up finish in Turkey. They will take on Uzbekistan, who are ranked much above them, and these two games will be a good learning curve for the Blue Tigresses.”
