The All India Football Federation: The All-India Football Federation (AIFF) announced a reward of USD 25,000 (INR 21.99 lakh approx) for the India U17 women’s national team on Tuesday, following their extraordinary achievement of qualifying for the AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cup for the first time in history.

The Young Tigresses completed a perfect qualification campaign in Bishkek, defeating both hosts Kyrgyz Republic and Uzbekistan by identical 2-1 margins to finish atop Group G with six points.

This qualification marks a significant milestone for Indian women’s football. India last featured in the AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cup in 2005, but that edition did not include qualification rounds.
