The tournament is part of the side's preparation for the Olympic Qualifiers Round 2.

Coming on the back of the recently concluded Hero Gold Cup in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, the Indian Senior National Women’s Team left for the Turkish Women’s Cup which kicks-off from February 27.

The tournament is part of the Indian women’s preparation for the AFC Olympic Qualifiers Round 2 to be held in April, as well as the Senior Women’s SAFF Championship slated for March.

The women head into the Turkish Women’s Cup having played seven International matches since January and are guaranteed of another 4 International matches in the Turkish Women’s Cup, where India have been clubbed with Uzbekistan, Romania and Turkmenistan in the group phase.

“In Turkey, we will be playing against Romania and Uzbekistan, both of whom are high-quality teams, and ranked higher than us,” Head Coach Maymol Rocky said.

“It is wonderful to get such an opportunity to play against such sides as it will help the girls gain valuable experience. It will enable us to see where we stand against such top sides,” she added.
