A 23-member India Senior Women's Team squad has been announced by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) for two international friendly matches against Uzbekistan on 31 May 2024 and 4 June 2024, in Tashkent. The Blue Tigresses team is now in Hyderabad gearing up for the next games.
After two weeks of rigorous training sessions at Sreenidi Deccan FC's home field, Deccan Arena, the head coach Langam Chaoba Devi reduced the team from a list of 30 probables to the final 23 players, who will depart for the Uzbek capital on Wednesday. The Indian squad placed second in the Turkish Women's Cup earlier this year, behind Kosovo, in a quadrangular competition that also included Estonia and Hong Kong.

Head Coach, Langam Chaoba Devi mentions, "We have played against Uzbekistan before in the Olympic qualifiers. Our results were not up to the mark. During my time as an assistant coach, we have also played against them. They are a good team. As a coach, I believe our girls can perform much better if they continue their efforts with will and determination."
