Women Enter Asian Cup, Wake-Up Call for Men’s Team & AIFF? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G

In a massive moment for Indian football, the women's national team has qualified for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 — and they didn’t just scrape through, they dominated the qualifiers with 24 goals in 4 matches, conceding just once. While the men’s team continues to struggle, plagued by poor performances and questionable leadership, the women are quietly building a legacy. So, what’s driving their success despite facing the same systemic issues under AIFF? And what lessons should Indian football as a whole be learning from this achievement? Rupha Ramani breaks down the numbers, the context, and the real story behind India’s women's football revolution - and why this may just be the spark the sport needs in the country.
