During the May/June 2025 International Window, the Indian women’s national team will play two FIFA Women’s International Friendly matches versus Uzbekistan.
The Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence in Bengaluru will host the two games versus Uzbekistan on May 30 and June 3.
The women’s squad, led by coach Crispin Chettri, started their camp in Bengaluru on May 1 and is now preparing for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers. India was selected for Group B, which will include matches against Timor-Leste (June 29), Iraq (July 2), Mongolia (June 23), and hosts Thailand (July 5) in Chiang Mai.
Group B of the Qualifiers will be held in Thailand using a centralised, single-round-robin system. The final competition, which will take place in three Australian host cities from March 1–26, 2026, will be open to the group winners.
India, now rated 69th in the FIFA Women’s Rankings, has faced 50th-ranked Uzbekistan 13 times. Three of the two teams’ meetings have resulted in draws, and the White Wolves have won nine times while the Blue Tigresses have only won one.
