New Delhi, Nov 12 (UNI) As India prepares to host its second-ever FIFA World Cup, the junior women footballers are set to stake their claim to be a part of the Indian squad which will represent the country in the mega event.
With about a year to go four teams – the Lionesses, the Panthers, the Tigresses and the Cheetahs – are now playing in the Hero U-17 Women’s Championship in Kalyani, West Bengal.
The tournament is perhaps the best scouting platform as the players are being closely watched by the coaching staff of the India U-17 Women’s Football Team, as they look to build the best squad ahead of the 2020 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
