Odisha Out To Challenge Manipur's Dominance In Rajmata Jijabai Trophy Final
Manipur have just been their usual selves this season, doing what they are always expected to do. This is the 29th edition of the competition and the undisputed queens of Indian women's football will play their 27th final. They have won it 22 times. So, it's no surprise that in each of the last five finals between Manipur and Odisha, the former have lifted the trophy. The last occasion was in 2018-19 when Manipur beat them 2-1 on their home soil in Cuttack. Irom Prameshwori Devi, part of this season's squad as well, scored in that final.
Odisha also have one title to their name, in 2010-11 in Bhilai, which was one of the two rare occasions Manipur failed to reach the final. Odisha blanked West Bengal 5-0. That remains as the biggest margin of victory in a Senior Women's National Football Championship.
