The Indian senior women's football team, led by head coach Crispin Chettri, has named 25 probables for the national camp ahead of the November FIFA International Women's Match Window.

The camp will be held at the National Centre of Excellence in Kolkata starting November 10, with friendly match details for the window from November 24 to December 2 to be announced later.

These matches form a key part of the team's preparations for the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026. In the recent October window, India played friendlies against IR Iran and Nepal in Shillong to sharpen their competitive edge. The squad features a mix of goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards, aiming to build a core group of 30-35 players ready for the Asian Cup challenge.

India's women's team, also known as the Blue Tigresses, has made significant strides, having recently qualified for the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026 after a strong undefeated campaign in the qualifiers with dominant performances including a win over higher-ranked Thailand. The team is currently ranked 63rd in the FIFA rankings, reflecting its upward trajectory.
