Team India may have clinched the SAFF U17 Women's Championship 2025 title with a game to spare, but the job is not done yet, according to head coach Joakim Alexandersson, as per the official website of the All India Football Federation (AIFF).
There was some sense of redemption for the Indian girls when they defeated Bangladesh 2-0 in the SAFF U-17 Women's Championship on Friday. Last year in the U16 tournament in Nepal, they had lost to them twice -- in the group stage and the final.
Pearl Fernandes (14') and Bonifilia Shullai (76') were the scorers for India, who led 1-0 at halftime. The win also consolidated India's top spot in the group. They have six points with two wins from two matches.
