‘Not The Right Thing, I Would Rather…’: Coach Joakim Opens Up On India U20 Women’s AFC Campaign
India U20 Women: India’s performance at the AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup Thailand 2026 may not be fully captured by the results, with losses to stronger teams highlighting the gaps. However, beyond the scores, the tournament revealed a team dedicated to growth and improvement.
Competing in a tough Group C with top contenders like Japan, a strong Australia, and a disciplined Chinese Taipei, the Indian U20 women’s national team was aware of the challenge and decided to face it on their own terms.
Head coach Joakim Alexandersson early on emphasised development and clear style, favouring long-term growth over short-term conservatism. “I don’t want to be that kind of coach who sits back with 10 players in a youth tournament just to hold on to results and play very defensively for 90 minutes,” he told AIFF after India's campaign came to an end.
