The Indian football team has been handed a challenging draw alongside Japan, Vietnam, and Chinese Taipei in Group C for the 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup in Australia.
India are set to make their first appearance at the tournament since 2003. Their best finishes came as runners-up in 1980 and 1983.
The competition will be held from March 1 to 21 in Australia. China are the defending champions and the most successful team, with a record nine titles.
Divided into three groups of four teams each, 12 teams will compete in the group stage. The top two sides from each group, along with the two best third-placed teams, will progress to the quarter-finals.
