India qualify for Asian Cup Finals
Hindustan Times Thane
|July 06, 2025
Sangita Basfore hit a brace as the Indian women’s football team qualified for the AFC Asian Cup 2026 Finals with a memorable 2-1 victory over hosts Thailand at the 700th Anniversary Stadium of Chiang Mai Stadium on Friday.
India topped Group B of the Qualifiers with a perfect record — four wins from as many matches.
For the first time the Blue Tigresses have booked a ticket to the continental championship through the qualification route.
Australia will host the tournament in 2026.
It will be India’s first appearance at the Asian Cup since 2022, when they participated as hosts but were forced to withdraw due to a COVID outbreak in the squad.
The last time India qualified outright was back in 2003, when the qualifiers did not exist in the current format.
