Indian Women’s COTIF Announced: The All India Football Federation (AIFF) announced a 22-member squad for the COTIF Cup on Friday. India women’s football team will travel to Spain to participate in the competition which will be held later this month. The recent rise in world ranking will give the players a huge boost in confidence going into the tournament. They are now ranked 57th in the world courtesy of some brilliant results.
Indian Women’s COTIF Announced One of the most notable absentee from the squad is Dalima Chhibber. Former India U-19 captain didn’t attend the preparatory camp which was being held at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. Other names who are missing from the squad are Indumathi Kathiresan and Sandhiya Ranganathan. According to sources, they have opted out due to personal reasons.
