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.
