Sports Elite Football Trials: Panthoi Chanu, the current goalkeeper of the Indian national women's team, is all set to make history, ready to become the first Indian footballer to play professionally in Australia.

Her groundbreaking achievement follows in the footsteps of Jyoti Chauhan, Kiran Pisda, and M. K. Kashmina, making her the fourth player to secure a contract abroad out of the 27 participants in the 'Women in Sports Elite Football Trials, second edition,' organized collaboratively by Women in Sports, the AMPL Foundation, and the Football Players’ Association of India.

Chanu, who showcased her goalkeeping prowess in India's recent matches against Kosovo and Hong Kong in Turkish Women's Cup 2024 in Turkey, has inked a deal with Metro United WFC, a team competing in the South Australian Women’s National Premier League. She will represent the team until the conclusion of the season in September 2024, the Women In Sports informed in a release on Tuesday.
