🇮🇳 A New Era in Indian Women’s Football Begins
India has scripted history by qualifying on merit for the 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup, thanks to the strategic brilliance and relentless commitment of Coach Crispin Chettri. Hailing from Kurseong in Darjeeling, the 50-year-old tactician took charge in early 2025—and what followed was nothing short of revolutionary.
With structured training camps, a consistent player pool, and tactical finesse, Chettri turned the Blue Tigresses into a dominant force in Asia.
🔥 Qualifying Campaign: India’s Statement of Intent
Placed in Group B with Mongolia, Timor-Leste, Iraq, and host Thailand, India delivered one of the most dominant qualifying campaigns ever:
🗓 Match Date | 🆚 Opponent | 🥅 Scoreline | 📌 Highlight |
23 June | Mongolia | 🇮🇳 13–0 | Biggest AFC win ever (men or women) |
29 June | Timor-Leste | 🇮🇳 4–0 | Controlled game; solid teamwork |
2 July | Iraq | 🇮🇳 5–0 | Pyari Xaxa shines again |
5 July | Thailand | 🇮🇳 2–1 | Basfore’s brace stuns the host nation |
✅ Final Group Record:
4 Wins | 24 Goals Scored | 1 Conceded | 0 Losses
🧠 Tactical Brilliance by Chettri
Coach Chettri’s success wasn’t luck—it was strategy.
🔹 Focus on second-half sharpness: 12 of India’s 17 early goals came in the second half
🔹 Core attacking players like Pyari Xaxa (5 goals), Sangita Basfore, and Manisha Kalyan delivered under pressure
🔹 Defense held firm, conceding just one goal in four matches
🚨 Coach’s Concern:
“We need better first-half energy and deeper talent pools in the IWL,” said Chettri. He strongly advocates expanding the Indian Women’s League from 8 to 12 teams to raise the bar nationwide.
🎯 What’s Next: Road to World Cup Begins
The 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup—to be held in Australia in March 2026—is not just a trophy hunt. It’s the gateway to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
🔹 Friendly matches and camps are being scheduled
🔹 Chettri aims to retain the core squad with minimal changes
🔹 Fitness, sports science, and injury prevention for women players will be prioritized

This qualification marks a turning point in Indian women’s football. With Coach Chettri’s structure, discipline, and football IQ, the Blue Tigresses now have the roadmap to dream bigger—and perhaps earn India’s first-ever Women’s World Cup berth.
It’s not just about football—it’s about belief, representation, and the rise of women athletes from every corner of India.
“From the misty hills of Kurseong to the grand stadiums of Asia, the journey has just begun.”
