The Hero U-17 Women’s Championship 2019, organized by Football Sports Development Limited and Reliance Foundation, will get underway from Monday, November 11, 2019 in Kalyani, West Bengal. The tournament was announced earlier this year by FSDL Chairperson Smt Nita Mukesh Ambani while addressing the Indian Super League (ISL) club owners' meet, which was also attended by All India Football Federation (AIFF) President Praful Patel. Aimed at helping India select its players for the 2020 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, to be held in the country, the 7-day tournament will have 4 teams competing against each other. The four-teams – Panthers, Tigresses, Lionesses and Cheetahs, will face each other once in a round robin format. A total of 73 players will be pitted against each other as part of the 4 teams, with each team having a 5-member support staff consisting of a Head Coach, Asst Coach, GK Coach, Physio and Team Manager. [KH_ADWORDS type="3" align="center"][/KH_ADWORDS] Coached by India’s national U-19 women’s team coach, Alex Ambrose, the Lionesses will certainly pose a threat to the other teams along with a great learning experience. However, basis sheer prowess on paper, Cheetahs are expected to be boosted by Indian football legend and Arjuna Awardee, Oinam Bembem Devi. There will be no lack of experience and expertise as Tigresses and Panthers will be coached by former U-14 women’s team coach Priya and former India national team member Subhash Chakraborty. Organised under the aegis of the All India Football Federation, the tournament final will be played between the top 2 sides on Sunday, November 17, in Kalyani.
