The Indian under-20 women’s football team will face Uzbekistan in an international friendly on Monday after the fixture, scheduled a day prior, was cancelled.
“The U20 Women’s International Friendly between India and Uzbekistan, scheduled for today in Tashkent, has been called off due to operational challenges at the Do’stlik stadium,” the All India Football Federation said in a statement on Sunday.
However, it was later confirmed that the match will take place on July 14. There’s a second game between the two sides two days later at the same stadium.
Monday’s match will not be live-streamed, with both teams mutually agreeing to play behind closed doors.
India’s friendlies in Uzbekistan are part of its preparation for the upcoming AFC U-20 Women’s Asian Cup Qualifiers, where it will face Indonesia (August 6), Turkmenistan (August 8) and Myanmar (August 10) in Yangon.
The group winner and the three best runners-up across all eight groups will qualify for the final tournament in Thailand next year.
