TheIndia women's national football team representsIndia in women's internationalfootball and is governed by theAll India Football Federation. Under the global jurisdiction ofFIFA and governed in Asia by theAFC. India is also part of theSouth Asian Football Federation. The team was one of the best in Asia in the mid-1970s to early 1980s, when they became runners-up in the1979 and the1983AFC Women's Asian Cup. The Indian women's national team is yet to participate in theFIFA Women's World Cup and theOlympic Games.
Football for women inAsia started later compared to their male counterparts. The seed of women's football in India was planted in the early 1970s. The first manager wasSushil Bhattacharya, in 1975[3] and from 1975 until 1991, the administration of the game was in the hands of the Women's Football Federation of India (WFFI), which comes under the Asian Ladies' Football Confederation (ALFC) that had recognition from neitherFIFA norAFC. Both organizations continuously tried to dissuade Asian countries from sending teams to these tournaments, for which the first few editions ofAFC Women's Asian Cup seen very few teams. Thus, the1980 featured two Indian teams (India N & India S),Western Australia,Taiwan,Hong Kong andMalaysia.[4] India did well enough in all these tournaments under Sushil Bhattacharya. In the next edition of1981 India achieved third position, defeated byThailand, and became runners-up in the1983, edition losing to Thailand again. This was the best chapter for the Indian women team in the Asian platform as since 1983 the performance declined along with mismanagement in the federation. The game was administered by WFFI from 1975 until the early 1990s, when they were absorbed into the AIFF.[5]
The AIFF did very less to lift the women's football from their meager condition. It was the time when FIFA conceptualized and organisedFIFA Women's World Cup in1991 andInternational Olympic Committee started the women's competition at1996 Summer Olympics. Time and again, the AIFF officials stated that lifting the standard of women's football to the level of their Asian counterparts was their chief aim. The AIFF failed to sponsor the team's first foreign trip in 1997 toGermany before the Asian Championships. Eventually, the trip was made possibly with the help of theGerman Football Association and NRI's living in Germany.[6]
1998 Asian Games was first participation for the national team. They were defeated byChinese Taipei 1–13, before facing the biggest defeat in the history byChina PR with an embarrassing scoreline of 0–16.[7]
The women's game reached a new low in June 2009 when FIFA delisted the side from its world rankings, for being out of action for more than 18 months.[8] From1991 to2010 the performance of the Indian team was very poor, participating in just 5 editions.
After 2009 sanction by FIFA, the AIFF started to better the condition of the national team and women's football, which led to commencingSAFF Women's Championship and also including women's football in theSouth Asian Games. The women's team resumed playing on 29 January 2010 after nearly a year-long hiatus.[9] Indian team earn massive success inSAFF competitions, winning the SAFF Women's Championship four times in a row without losing a single game. Additionally, they won two gold medals at South Asian Games.[10]
They participated in the qualifiers for the2012 Summer Olympics in March 2011. In their first match India has beaten group hostsBangladesh 3–0. In the second round India playedUzbekistan, where they tied the first match 1–1, but lost the second leg 1–5.[11]
India participated for the second time at the Asian games in2014, but the condition was not better than the previous participation, 16 years back in 1998. Though India defeatedMaldives easily with 15–0 score, a similar fate was faced by them in the next two matches, being defeated bySouth Korea andThailand with the same score of 0–10.[12]

In August 2018, Indian women national team was invited to participate inCotif Tournament where clubs and national and autonomous teams participate every year since 1984, held at Valencia, Spain. 2018 Cotif was 35th Anniversary of the tournament.[13] At this tournament they faced 3 Spanish club teams andMorocco. First lost toFundación Albacete, 1–4, then toLevante UD, 0–5, then the Moroccan side defeated India with a score 5–1, but on the last match India played with maturity, though lost toMadrid CFF with 0–1 score.
In November 2018, India qualified to the second round of2020 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament for the first time since the qualifying tournament started for the2008 Summer Olympics.[14][15]
For preparation of2020 Olympics 2nd round qualifiers India played two matches each againstHong Kong andIndonesia winning all four of them 5–2 & 1–0 against Hong Kong and 3–0 & 2–0 against Indonesia respectively.[16][17] Following these matches India played at the2019 Gold Cup organised at home, where they won their first match againstIran by 1–0 but lost next two matches toNepal andMyanmar by 1–2 and 0–2 respectively and failed to reach the final.[18][19][20]
India returned to the AFC Women's Championship, now known as theAFC Women's Asian Cup, when it hosted the2022 edition. They last appeared in 2003, before qualifiers was introduced since the2006 edition.[21] However India was forced to withdraw from the 2022 tournament it is hosting due to aCOVID-19 outbreak within the team.[22]
At the2022 SAFF Women's Championship, India lost a match at the regional tournament for the first time.[23] They lost against Bangladesh 0–3 in the group stage.[24] The team also lost the semifinal against Nepal 0–1. Thus failing to win the SAFF title for the first time ever.[25]
In July 2025, India secured a berth at the AFC Women's Asian Cup for the first time viaqualification. India defeated group qualifiers hostThailand 2–1 to earn a berth at the2026 edition set to be hosted in Australia.[26] Head coachCrispin Chettri noted the distinct challenges in managing awomen’s team, emphasizing injury risks andphysiological considerations.[27]
