Where and how to watch Indian women's football team vs Maldives?

The match will be played at Padukone – Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence.

The Indian senior women’s football team are set to play two FIFA international friendlies against Maldives on December 30, 2024, and January 2, 2025, in Bengaluru. These matches will mark the final outings for the Indian team this year, offering them an opportunity to regain momentum amid a challenging phase.

India is currently experiencing a turbulent run, having won only five of their last 17 matches. This slump has seen the team drop to their lowest-ever FIFA ranking of 69. With the 2026 AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers on the horizon, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) is keen to improve their ranking to secure a more favorable pot position in the continental tournament qualifiers.

The friendlies against Maldives provide a crucial opportunity for the team to work on their strategy, boost morale, and regain confidence. India’s attacking and defensive dynamics will likely be under scrutiny as the coaching staff aims to iron out weaknesses before entering competitive qualifiers.

Maldives, meanwhile, are also looking to rebuild after a dismal performance at the recently concluded SAFF Women’s Championship in Nepal. The team conceded a staggering 25 goals in just three matches, raising serious questions about their defensive organization and overall competitiveness.

Women’s team head coach, Alexandersson, ahead of the game said, “We have some senior women’s players joining us in the Bengaluru camp so we’ll have a mix of U20 and senior players for this match. We’re going to try and implement some things in tomorrow’s game. It’s nice to see and train the best in the country.”
