Women's Asian Cup: India To Launch Asian Cup Journey In Perth Against Vietnam
Perth Rectangular Stadium: After four years of hurt, the Indian senior women’s national team is finally ready to begin its AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 journey against Vietnam at the Perth Rectangular Stadium on Wednesday in Perth, Australia, starting its campaign with a clash against Vietnam.
The Blue Tigresses' World Cup dream came to a grinding halt in their own backyard when the team pulled out of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022. However, their magnificent performance in the qualifiers last year has now given them a second shot. This marks the first time India have qualified for the Asian Cup on merit.
Amelia Valverde, who was appointed the head coach of the Indian women’s team earlier this year, brushed past heartbreaks. “That was four years ago. There are no coincidences in life, though, and we are back here again with a chance to prove ourselves. This is a new opportunity for us to represent our team in the best possible manner," the Costa Rican coach was quoted as saying by the AIFF on Tuesday.
