Indian Senior Women: High on confidence following a successful camp, the senior national women's team is ready for its maiden clash with Estonia in the four-nation Turkish Women's Cup football competition here on Wednesday.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Indian Senior Women’s Team had a rigorous training session at this venue as it prepared for its opening game in the tournament. The Indian team checked into its hotel late on Monday. After landing in Antalya from Istanbul in the afternoon, the team travelled another 133 kilometres by bus to reach its destination.

India will participate in the Turkish Women’s Cup for the third time, after 2019 and 2021. Seasoned campaigner and defender Dalima Chhibber, who had been with the team before, said the present Indian team have done the necessary groundwork to showcase a stronger performance than they did before.
