The India women's national football team is controlled by the All India Football Federation and represents India in womens' international football competitions. The womens' football scene didn't have the same chance to spread as the mens' game did, and thus the team struggles to keep up with more talented International squads such as China and Japan. However, India is beginning to recover from this jump-start, and is growing stronger with each year.

History

When India became affiliated with FIFA in 1948, the team was formed. Since then, India has showed strong performances in the AFC Asian Cup and in World Cup qualifiers. Although the team has never qualified for a World Cup, this may partially be due to such strong teams as China and Japan sharing a qualifying bracket with them.
