India Rises To 63rd In FIFA Rankings After Historic AFC Women’s Asian Cup Qualification
Asian Cup Qualification: The Indian women’s football team has made a significant leap in the latest FIFA rankings, climbing seven spots to reach 63rd position following a landmark victory over Thailand. The win not only boosted their global standing but also sealed a coveted spot in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup, marking a historic qualification on merit.
This is India’s highest ranking in nearly two years—the Blue Tigresses were last ranked 61st on August 21, 2023. The rise reflects a resurgence in form and confidence, capped by a gritty 2-1 triumph against a higher-ranked Thai side in the decisive final qualifier.
India’s campaign in the qualifiers was nothing short of dominant. The team opened with a record-breaking 13-0 demolition of Mongolia, their biggest win in recent memory. That momentum continued with a 4-0 rout of Timor-Leste and a 5-0 victory over Iraq, setting up a high-stakes finale against Thailand, with both teams tied on points.
