India U-17s could give hope to other youngsters in the country: Bembem Devi

New Delhi, June 2 (UNI) The Indian men’s U-17 team are currently in the news for all the right reasons. After securing qualification for the AFC U-17 Asian Cup, the boys, coached by Bibiano Fernandes, recently toured Spain and Germany as part of preparations and came up with decent results against quality age group sides of top club teams in both the countries.
The real battle, however, will begin soon as the boys have landed in Thailand to play in the AFC U-17 Asian Cup from June 17–23, 2023. Bembem Devi, the former captain of the Senior National Women’s team and currently the Head of Scouting of the AIFF along with Harjinder Singh, is one of those who have been following the progress of the team keenly.
Asked about her expectations from the U-17 team in Thailand, the legend of Indian women’s football had no hesitation in saying that the outcome would depend on how the entire squad would perform as a ‘team’ on and off the field.
