The Indian Under-20 women’s football team will play the first of the two friendly matches against Uzbekistan today at the FC Madras Academy in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu. Both matches will be played behind closed doors and will kick off at 5 pm Indian Time. Head coach Joakim Alexandersson has named a 24-member squad for the two games, which will form part of India’s preparations for the 2026 AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup.

 

Last month, the Indian women’s team played two friendly matches against Kazakhstan U19 in Shymkent, winning 3-2 and drawing 1-1. The second match will be played on Tuesday at the same venue.
