The India U19 Women's side will play their first match in the 2017 AFC U19 Championship qualifiers today against Iran. Match will kick off in I believe 2 and a half hours. Vietnam is also in the group.
Iran U19 in the AFC U19 Championship have a very iffy history. In 2015 they qualified from their group of Sri Lanka and Palestine. Defeated Sri Lanka 4-1 and Palestine 6-0. Then they lost 13-0 to South Korea, 9-0 to North Korea, and 7-1 to Thailand. They were a little better in the 2013 qualifiers.
Vietnam did not qualify for the 2015 edition but only because Australia did better and only 1 team qualified per group. They defeated Singapore 11-0, Hong Kong 6-0 and lost to Australia 3-0 which is kind of incredible.
India failed to qualify in 2015 after a 2-0 defeat to Uzbekistan, 3-1 defeat to Jordan, and 3-1 victory over Lebanon.
Im going to go and guess that Vietnam will be our toughest opponent here.
