After Asian Cup, India Women Target FIFA WC Qualification Next, Says Crispin Chhetri
Overwhelming might still be an understatement considering the giant and historic achievement this is for the Indian women's team. One that could shape the future of the women's game in the country. The stakes were toweringly high as the Women's Asian Cup is also the path to the FIFA Women's World Cup.
That's exactly why the Blue Tigresses are in no mood to rest after this first-ever 'qualification' for the Asian Cup. Coach Crispin Chettri barely wasted any time after the full-time whistle in conveying the task at hand to the girls. After the outpouring of emotions and hugs and cries and tears, Chettri gathered everyone in a huddle and said, "The top of the mountain is the bottom of another mountain. We must continue to learn and grow as a team. We've made it to the Asian Cup. Our next target is the World Cup. We have to keep dreaming."
