Asian Cup Qualifiers Indian U17:  After losing to Korea 0-8 in their first encounter of the AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup Qualifiers Indian U17 women's football team is ready for some creditable performances in the next two matches to turn the table and open up the opportunity for a berth in the next round.

The India U17 team are fully aware of the challenges ahead; they are pitted against hosts Thailand, the country known as the "Land of Smiles". The nickname is not merely a reflection of their cheerful culture, it also characterises their approach to sports – maintaining a positive attitude no matter the circumstances.

"We faced a challenging situation against Korea yesterday when we conceded our first goal, which led to some pressure on the players. We were unlucky to concede two penalty kicks. Korea Republic displayed exceptional passing quality, making it essential for us to regroup defensively. The Korean team demonstrated strong support in their passing game, and we acknowledge that we need to address these weaknesses," said head coach Priya PV.
