AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey congratulated the players and coaching staff, praising their commitment to the sport and their ability to perform under pressure. “This team has made the country proud. Qualifying for the Asian Cup is no small feat, and their hard work deserves recognition. The AIFF is happy to reward their success and will continue to support their journey,” he said.
The cash prize, though undisclosed in amount, is intended as both a token of appreciation and an incentive for the players to maintain their momentum ahead of the continental tournament. Senior officials confirmed that the funds will be disbursed directly to the players and staff, ensuring everyone who contributed to the qualification gets acknowledged.
The U-20 women’s squad’s qualification is being seen as a positive sign for the growth of women’s football in India. Experts believe it could inspire more young girls to take up the sport, especially with the AIFF’s increased focus on grassroots development and exposure to international competition.
With the Asian Cup on the horizon, the team is expected to undergo intensive training camps and friendly matches to prepare for the challenge. Fans and former players have already taken to social media to hail their achievement, hoping the momentum carries into the tournament.
