AFC Women's U20 Asian Cup 2026 Live: The Indian women's U20 football team will take on Chinese Taipei in the final group match of the AFC U20 Asian Cup in Thailand.
The team had a horrid run so far, losing both their game earlier against Japan and Australia, having a -11 goal difference before the start of this match.
However, they can still qualify for the quarterfinals if they secure a big win today and hope that Uzbekistan and Jordan play out a draw in the other group.
