The India women's national football team is controlled by the All India Football Federation and represents India in women's international football competitions. The women's football scene didn't have the same chance to spread as the men's game did, and thus the team struggles to keep up with more talented international squads such as Chinaand Japan. However, India is beginning to recover from this jump-start, and is growing stronger with each year. The women's team will return to the field on September 7th, 2012 from nearly a year long hiatus. They were re-established on November 2009 for a 2-month training camp.[2] Contents [hide] * 1 History * 1.1 The brand new start for Indian Women's football * 2 Schedule and results * 3 Team officials and coaching staff * 4 Current squad * 5 Records * 5.1 Most capped players * 5.2 Top scorers * 6 Head coaches * 7 World Cup record * 8 AFC Women's Asian Cup record * 9 South Asian Games record * 10 See also * 11 References * 12 External
