The India women's national football team represents India in international women's football and is ran by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). At first the team was directed by the Women's Football Federation of India (WFFI) before finally being put under the AIFF in the early nineties. The team played their first international match during the 1981 AFC Women's Championship in Hong Kong.
Overall, the women's national team has not received the same treatment that the men's side does. The team has had moments where they don't even play a fixture for at least a whole year while training camps and wages lack in comparison to the men's side of the Indian game. At one point the team was de-listed from the FIFA rankings in 2009 after the team failed to play a single match in 18-months.[5] However, since then the Indian team has been listed again and currently stands at 50 in the FIFA rankings.[1]
History[edit]
Known Coaches[edit]
Currently, the full list of coaches for the India women's football team is not completely known. The earliest known coach of the team was Harjinder Singh, who was in charge of the national team from 2005 to 2010.[6] Singh remained in charge of the team till 2010, when Mohammad Shahid Jabbar was brought in as the coach.[7] During his tenure as coach Jabbar won the first ever SAFF Women's Championship in 2010.[8] In 2013 however Jabbar was replaced at the helm by Anadi Barua but he would only last a year before the current coach of the team, Tarun Roy, took over.[9]
