The camp will be followed by an exposure tour to China. Head coach Tarun Roy has named a list of 35 probables for the camp in Mumbai. The list, however, would later be cut down to 18.
Roy who was an AIFF scout in the Senior Women’s National Championships held in Assam highlighted about the quality in the squad.
“I was very much impressed with the overall quality of the players. During the course of the camp, I will be emphasizing on improving the fitness of the players,” he told Herald.
“We need to fine-tune some aspects and can never afford to shift away from AIFF’s philosophy. My aim is to bring down the AFC ranking of the team to a single digit,” he further stated. At present, the Indian Women are ranked 11 at the AFC level.
