India U17 vs Iraq U17 Live: Watch AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers Live

The India U17 women’s national team are set to begin their AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cup China 2027 Qualifiers campaign on Monday, October 5, 2026, at 13:00 IST, taking on Iraq in their opening Group E fixture at the MP Selayang Stadium in Selayang, Malaysia. India will aim for a positive start to their continental campaign as they begin their bid to qualify for back-to-back AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cups for the first time.

After making history in the previous edition of the AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cup China 2026 by reaching the knockout stage for the first time, the Young Tigresses will now look to build on that landmark campaign. India’s run in China concluded with a 0-3 defeat against the hosts in the quarter-finals, yet the historic run marked the country’s best-ever finish in the competition.

With 11 players from that batch returning to the 23-player squad, the Young Tigresses have been preparing for the Qualifiers since July in Bengaluru. The team then travelled to Tashkent, where they played two closed-door friendlies against Uzbekistan, both ending in goalless draws. On their return to India, their preparations continued in Goa, where they hosted Philippines in two more friendlies, suffering a 2-4 defeat before bouncing back with a 2-0 victory.
