India U20 women’s coach Joakim Alexandersson names 24-member travelling squad for Uzbekistan friendlies

The Indian U20 women’s team will play two friendly matches in Tashkent against Uzbekistan U20 women on July 13 and 16, 2025, as part of their preparations for the AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers, scheduled to be held from August 6 to 10 in Myanmar.
Swedish coach Joakim Alexandersson named a 24-member travelling squad that will depart from Bengaluru, where the Young Tigresses had been camping, on the night of July 10 and arrive in Tashkent on the morning of July 11.
India will face Indonesia (August 6), Turkmenistan (August 8) and Myanmar (August 10) in Yangon in the AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup Qualifiers. The group winners and three best runners-up across all eight groups will qualify for the final tournament Thailand next year.
The 24-member squad includes goalkeeper Monalisha Devi Moirangthem, who was part of the senior team that secured a historic qualification to the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 in Thailand last week. She made one appearance in the Qualifiers and joined the U20 camp on July 7 after returning from Thailand.
Melody Chanu Keisham, Shubhangi Singh, Viksit Bara, Sulanjana Raul, and Cindy Remruatpuii Colney have also trained with the senior team during their camp in Bengaluru, which is part of the broader AIFF vision to provide more exposure to players from a younger age.
