New Delhi, Oct 21: Indian women’s football team head coach Thomas Dennerby on Saturday named a 22-member squad that will travel to Uzbekistan for the Round 2 of the AFC Women’s Olympic Qualifiers.
The Blue Tigresses will face Japan (October 26), Vietnam (October 29) and hosts Uzbekistan (November 1) in Group C matches of the Round 2 qualifiers.
The team that finishes at the top of the three groups, and the best out of the three runners-ups will make it to the Round 3 qualifiers.
The Indian team is currently ranked 61st in FIFA charts as against Japan (8th), Vietnam (34th) and Uzbekistan (50th).
“Japan are a very strong side, and Vietnam and Uzbekistan are also ranked higher than us, but we will do whatever we can to qualify,” Dennerby said.
“I guess it’s going to be tough to beat Japan for the top spot. So, realistically, we should be very happy with second place,” he added. (PTI)
