India U17 Women Coach Pamela Conti Eye WC Spot After Asian Cup QF Qualification
Asian Cup QF: After India scripted history by reaching the quarter-finals of the AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cup for the first time ever, head coach Pamela Conti has set eyes on the qualification for the World Cup.
India advanced to the quarter-finals with a 4-0 win against Lebanon in Group B . The win meant India finished behind Japan and Australia but sealed progression as one of the two best third-placed teams.
India will now face hosts China in the quarter-final on Monday, with a place in the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup at stake. China finished Group A as toppers, scoring 15 goals against Myanmar, Vietnam and Thailand, and conceding none. Notably, no Indian women’s team has ever been one win away from qualifying for a FIFA World Cup on merit.
