Sr. Women's Football Nationals: Manipur And Haryana Set For Summit Clash

National Football Championship: Eternal heavyweights Manipur and rising powerhouses Haryana will battle it out in the final of the Senior Women’s National Football Championship for Rajmata Jijabai Trophy at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan on Wednesday.

The two sides have contrasting pedigree in women's football. While Manipur have been champions of 21 of the 27 editions of the Championship, Haryana have only made their second-ever final. And their first was just last year, when they went down to Tamil Nadu to end up as runners-up.

In the last few years, Haryana have emerged as a growing force in the women's game, with an increasing number of national team players both at the senior and youth level. And adding the fact that Haryana edged out Manipur 1-0 in Group B's last match to top the group, it feels difficult to choose a favourite for the final.
