“As the governing body, we want to provide the best platform for preparation for our women’s senior team as they prepare for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022. Brazil and Chile are regular World Cup teams, and I am confident playing against such opposition will help our women’s team to grow in stature,” Mr. Kushal Das, General Secretary, AIFF averred.
“We are also in the final stages to finalise the schedule for the four-nation tournament in Kerala in December for the women’s team to gain valuable international exposure,” the General Secretary added.
