India recommended for AFC Women's Asian Cup 2022

Kuala Lumpur: India was on Wednesday recommended as the first South Asian hosts for the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2022 by the AFC Womens Football Committee which met here as part of the AFCs commitment to grow the womens game.

As per the AFC’s official website, it was felt that India, who will also have the experience of hosting the FIFA Women’s Under-17 World Cup later this year, was best placed among the three bidders — Chinese Taipei and Uzbekistan were the other competing candidates — to maximise the promotion of the women’s game.

The stadiums proposed by India include D Y Patil Stadium and Trans Stadia Arena which are also being used in the FIFA tournament. (IANS)
