India women's national under-17 football team

FIFA first organised the U-17 Women's World Cup in the year 2008 and has since organised it on every even years. From Asia, the top three teams from AFC U-16 Women's Championship get qualified for the world cup, but India failed to qualify any of AFC championships since 2007 edition to 2017, thus failed to qualify for the first six editions of the World Cup.{{cite web |title=India to host the U-17 Women's World Cup in 2020 |url=http://www.espn.in/football/fifa-womens-world-cup/story/3801097/india-to-host-fifa-under-17-womens-world-cup-in-2020 |website=espn.in |date=15 March 2019 |publisher=ESPN |access-date=17 March 2019 |archive-date=17 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190317233527/http://www.espn.in/football/fifa-womens-world-cup/story/3801097/india-to-host-fifa-under-17-womens-world-cup-in-2020 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |title=India to host 2020 Under-17 Women's World Cup |url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/fifa-announces-india-as-2020-under-17-world-cup-host-gianni-infantino-aiff-indian-football/article26548139.ece |website=sportstar.thehindu.com |date=15 March 2019 |publisher=Sportstar |access-date=17 March 2019 |archive-date=11 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221011123141/https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/fifa-announces-india-as-2020-under-17-world-cup-host-gianni-infantino-aiff-indian-football/article26548139.ece |url-status=live }}

India is selected as the host of the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup and thus automatically got qualified for the tournament. It is supposed to be their first participation in the World Cup, but their participation was under threat after the All India Football Federation was suspended by FIFA and the hosting rights for the tournament were stripped from India. However, the AIFF was later reinstated by FIFA and the tournament rights were given back to India, confirming their participation for the tournament.{{cite web|title=Introducing Ibha – Official Mascot revealed for FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup India 2022™|url=https://www.fifa.com/media-releases/official-mascot-revealed-for-fifa-u17-womens-world-cup-india-2022|website=fifa.com|publisher=FIFA|access-date=11 October 2021|archive-date=11 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211011110920/https://www.fifa.com/media-releases/official-mascot-revealed-for-fifa-u17-womens-world-cup-india-2022|url-status=live}}{{cite web |title=FIFA suspends All India Football Federation |url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/associations/media-releases/fifa-suspends-all-india-football-federation |website=FIFA.com |access-date=16 August 2022 |language=en |archive-date=24 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220824202457/https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/associations/media-releases/fifa-suspends-all-india-football-federation |url-status=live }}{{cite web |title=FIFA lifts suspension of All India Football Federation |url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/associations/media-releases/fifa-lifts-suspension-of-all-india-football-federation |website=FIFA.com |access-date=27 August 2022 |language=en |archive-date=28 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220828231925/https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/associations/media-releases/fifa-lifts-suspension-of-all-india-football-federation |url-status=live }}

India women's U17 team first played their international match at the inaugural edition of AFC U-16 Women's Championship in 2005 where they first faced Thailand and got defeated by 6−4 on 16 April 2005. In the second match South Korea defeated them again by 7−0, but in the third match India registered their first win defeating Indonesia by 6−0 but they failed to proceed beyond the group stage. This was India's only AFC Women's U16 Championship campaign, as they failed to qualify any of the championships held since, which is being organised by AFC on every odd years.

SAFF U15 Women's championship was first organised in 2017, where India became runners-up after being defeated by Bangladesh by a solitary goal.{{cite web |title=Unbeaten Bangladesh girls beat India to lift Saff U-15 title |url=https://www.dhakatribune.com/sport/football/2017/12/24/bangladesh-girls-beat-india-lift-saff-u-15-championship/ |website=dhakatribune.com/ |date=24 December 2017 |publisher=Dhaka Tribune |access-date=17 March 2019 |archive-date=21 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190321035717/http://www.dhakatribune.com/sport/football/2017/12/24/bangladesh-girls-beat-india-lift-saff-u-15-championship |url-status=live }}{{cite web |title=India crowned runners-up in SAFF U-15 Women's Championship |url=https://www.goal.com/en/news/india-saff-u-15-womens-championship/1r22vq2phhf3312phazho3uit3 |website=goal.com |publisher=GOAL |access-date=17 March 2019 |archive-date=27 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171227051826/http://www.goal.com/en/news/india-saff-u-15-womens-championship/1r22vq2phhf3312phazho3uit3 |url-status=live }} In the next edition in 2018, the final was repeated again, but this time India beat Bangladesh by a solitary goal and become the SAFF champion.{{cite web |title=INDIA GIRLS ARE SAFF U-15 CHAMPIONS |url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=9117 |website=the-aiff.com |publisher=AIFF |access-date=17 March 2019 |archive-date=28 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190328201434/https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=9117 |url-status=live }} In the 2019 SAFF U-15 Women's Championship, India and Bangladesh reached the final for the third time. Both the teams failed to score any goals within the regulation time. Thus penalty shoot-out became the match decider where Bangladesh failed to convert the first spot kick, which resulted in India becoming the champion by a 5−3 result in the shoot-out.{{cite web |title=India pip Bangladesh on penalties to clich 2019 SAFF U-15 championship |url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=9980 |publisher=AIFF |access-date=15 October 2019 |archive-date=18 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200918090516/https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=9980 |url-status=live }}

In 2018, at the second edition of BRICS U-17 Football Cup, which is a U-17 Football tournament played among teams of five BRICS countries, the U17 women's teams of the respective countries were invited to play in the tournament.{{cite news|title=TWENTY SELECTED FOR INDIAN U-17 WOMEN'S TEAM FOR BRICS U-17 FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=9034|work=AIFF|date=July 13, 2018|access-date=September 13, 2018|archive-date=October 11, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221011123147/https://www.the-aiff.com/article/twenty-selected-for-indian-u-17-womens-team-for-brics-u-17-football-tournament|url-status=live}} India played round robin matches, first against South Africa, and suffered a loss by 5−1, then suffered another defeat against Russia by 3−1.
