AFC Women's Asian Cup Qualifiers: India prepare for Timor Leste challenge

Chiang Mai(Thailand), June 28 (UNI) After a thumping opening day victory, the Indian senior women's team will look to continue the winning momentum in the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers when they take on Timor Leste on Sunday, June 29, 2025, at the 700th Anniversary of Chiang Mai Stadium at 14:30 IST. The match will be streamed live on Changsuek YouTube Channel and Thai Women's Football Facebook Page.
The five-team Group B is currently led by Iraq, who are on four points after a 5-2 victory over Mongolia and a 0-0 draw with Timor Leste. India, who beat Mongolia 13-0, and Thailand, who beat Timor Leste 4-0, are on three points each.
Despite Timor Leste being ranked 158th, 32 places below Mongolia, Indian coach Crispin Chettri believed that the Southeast Asian side would pose a stronger challenge. Having watched all teams in action after the first two matchdays, there's now a much clearer assessment of all the remaining three opponents.
