AFC Futsal Asian Cup Qualifiers: The Indian national women's futsal camp, in preparation for next month's AFC Women's Futsal Asian Cup Qualifiers, is in full swing in Bhavnagar, Gujarat. The year 2025 will bring a new dawn in Indian futsal as the qualifiers will mark the nation's competitive debut in the women's game.

Less than two years ago, the Indian men's futsal team debuted in the AFC Futsal Asian Cup Qualifiers in Tajikistan. Despite losing all three games, India gave a decent account of themselves, scoring 10 goals and playing dynamic and fast-paced futsal. The head coach was Joshuah Stan Vaz, who will also be in-charge of leading the women's side in their international debut.

India will face Hong Kong (January 15), Indonesia (January 17) and Kyrgyzstan (January 19) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
