According to Athif Mohamed, the head coach of the National Women’s Futsal Team, the Maldivian side will not be intimidated by India’s standing as a sporting powerhouse. He highlighted that the intensive training sessions conducted on indoor pitches in Thailand have been instrumental in helping the players adapt to the specific movements and balance required for the sport.
Despite the presence of seasoned and experienced players within the Indian squad, the Maldivian team is fully prepared and currently free from any injury concerns. The primary objective for the opening match against India, scheduled for 12:00 PM today, is to secure a positive result and avoid defeat. All matches of this seven-nation tournament will be broadcast live on YES TV.
