    AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup: India Defeat Chinese Taipei To Keep Knockout Stage Hopes Alive

    AFC U20 Women: The Indian U20 women’s national football team kept alive their hopes of qualifying for the AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup 2026 knockout stage after defeating Chinese Taipei 3-1 in their final Group C match at the Pathum Thani Stadium in Pathum Thani, Thailand, on Wednesday.

    India forward Sibani Devi Nongmeikapam (32’, 87’-p) scored two after Bhumika Devi Khumukcham (26’) had put the Young Tigresses in the lead early on. Substitute Kao Hsin (90+3’) pulled one back for Chinese Taipei in the closing stages. It was India's first win in the AFC U20 Women's Asian Cup since 2004.

    With this result, India finished third in Group C with three points from as many matches. They now need the Group B match between Jordan and Uzbekistan, which will be played later today, to end in a draw to qualify for the quarter-finals as one of the two best third-placed teams among all groups. Any other result will see the winners of the aforementioned match qualify.
