NEW DELHI:<\/strong> A 66.7 % win record in the last 18 matches played since January 2019 propelled the Indian Senior Women\u2019s National Team to jump 6 places to 57 in the FIFA Women\u2019s Ranking released on July 12, 2019. Currently, the Indian women are ranked 11th in Asia.<\/p>\n

 \u201cThe entire nation will be happy that the Women\u2019s Team has climbed six spots in the FIFA Rankings. The entire credit goes with the girls. They have worked hard for it, and we need to work harder from now on,\u201d Maymol said.<\/p>\n

Iconic Indian striker Sunil Chhetri, currently the second highest goal scorer in International Football among active players with 70 goals stated that he is \u201cextremely proud of the girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have been doing really well. I’m really proud of the girls. I’ve spoken to them once before recently, and told them they can do wonders. I hope they keep working hard, keep doing what they are doing. I’m sure things will keep on improving,\u201d Chhetri said from Ahmedabad, where the Blue Tigers are playing in the ongoing Hero Intercontinental Cup.<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s team are currently camping in the Capital for their preparation for the forthcoming COTIF Cup.<\/p>\n

AIFF\u2019s Director of National Teams, and former India captain Abhishek Yadav added that the \u201cwomen\u2019s football have picked up the momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n

AIFF Player of the Year 2018-19 Ashalata Devi felt \u201cthe aim should be to climb higher.\u201d<\/p>\n

 \u201cCurrently, we are 11th in Asia. We are aware of our abilities. The self-belief after the exposure tours has been driving us. We need to break into the top 10 in Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goalkeeper Aditi Chauhan added: \u201cAs a team we are really proud of the effort which we put in, and the results we’ve got since assembling in December last year. Our new ranking will motivate us further to keep pushing ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

 \u201cThere is a bit of a gap between the top-ranked teams, and where we are at the moment. But everyone \u2013 the players, the staff, AIFF, the Government are working very hard to provide the girls all the facilities to close down that gap,\u201d the Coach explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
