Sweety Devi eyes better prep with more friendlies before Asian Cup challenge
Udaipur, Aug 2 (PTI) With India set to play 12 international friendlies in the build-up to the AFC Women's Asian Cup, seasoned centre-back Sweety Devi Ngangbam believes the added exposure will strengthen their dream of qualifying for the FIFA World Cup. India, ranked 70th in the world, have been placed in a tough Group C alongside Asian heavyweights Japan (7), Vietnam (37), and Chinese Taipei (42) for the continental tournament, to be held in Australia from March 1 to 21, 2026. 'Japan are always a top team, and playing against them is a huge opportunity. We know we must be mentally strong, and we will play to the best of our abilities," Sweety told PTI Videos during the launch of the Zinc Football Girls Academy in Zawar, near Udaipur. The All India Football Federation has unveiled an extensive roadmap for the Indian women's team, including 83 days of national camps, 12 international friendlies, 5-7 domestic matches, and an early start to the Indian Women's League 2025-26 season. 'The federation has prepared a road map for our season, which begins in March, and we will be playing international friendlies, which are incredibly important. We will try giving our best for the Asia Cup and are focused on qualifying for the World Cup." India open their Asian Cup campaign against Vietnam on March 4, followed by matches against Japan (March 7) and Chinese Taipei (March 10). 'Winning every international match we play is our goal. These friendlies will give us crucial exposure. 'The coaches will guide us on the areas we need to improve, and we are committed to giving our full effort," added Sweety who led India in two matches — against Mongolia and hosts Thailand during their triumphant campaign at the Asian Cup qualifiers. She was captain as part of a rotation policy adopted by head coach Crispin Chettri, who announced the captain on matchday mornings and handed over the armband in the dressing room. India topped Group B in the AFC qualifiers with wins over Thailand, Iraq, Timor-Leste and Mongolia to qualify for the tournament for the first time since 2003. India were forced to withdraw from the 2022 edition due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the squad. Sweety relished the opportunity to captain the national side and sees the Women's World Cup as the ultimate target. 'The captaincy rotation was a great experience. It provided many of us with valuable insights into team management and fostered a special bond within the squad," she said. 'Our main goal is to perform well in the AFC and qualify for the World Cup. If we do so, then I would also look forward to playing in international leagues. My personal goal would be to become the best player in the AFC," she added. Twelve teams will compete in the Asian Cup and the four group winners will seal World Cup berths directly. The losing teams will enter play-ins for two more spots. Sweety also spoke fondly of her long-time teammate and regular skipper Ashalata Devi. 'As for my camaraderie with Ashalata Devi, I've played alongside her for a long time. I started my career with her, and I still miss her." On Thursday, Hindustan Zinc Ltd, in collaboration with the AIFF, launched the Zinc Football Girls Academy in Zawar — the country's first technology-driven residential football academy exclusively for girls. 'This is a very big step, and as a women's player, it's a proud moment to see academies opening up in smaller cities of Rajasthan," Sweety said.

Khalid Jamil, India's new coach
Khalid Jamil PANAJI: The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has cleared the path for Khalid Jamil to take over as coach of the national football team. Should Jamil — currently coaching Jamshedpur FC — agree to the terms offered by the AIFF in the next 24 to 48 hours, he will become the first Indian as full-time coach since Sukhvinder Singh in 2005. Two other Indians, Armando Colaco and Savio Medeira, held interim charges, following the sacking of Bob Houghton in 2011. 'It was felt the federation must give an opportunity to an Indian coach,' the AIFF said after its executive committee meeting on Friday. 'The members felt that since India are set to participate in the CAFA Nations Cup this month, followed by back-toback AFC Asian Cup final round qualifiers (against Singapore in October), Jamil would be a better option, since he has been working with Indian players on a regular basis. ' AIFF technical director Syed Sabir Pasha and national teams director Subrata Paul presented a SWOT analysis of all the three shortlisted coaches – Jamil, Stephen Constantine, and Stefan Tarkovic. While the mood was in favour of an Indian coach, a 'strong recommendation' from technical committee chairperson and former India captain IM Vijayan helped members decide. In its presentation, AIFF said Jamil's playing style is easy for the players to adapt, and that he is 'known to create teams that are hard to score against.' An AFC pro coaching license holder since 2015, the 48-yearold has managed over 200 games in the I-League with stints at clubs like Mumbai FC, Aizawl FC – with whom he scripted a fairytale I-League triumph – East Bengal and Mohun Bagan. In the Indian Super League (ISL), now the top-tier league, he has guided NorthEast United FC and Jamshedpur to the semifinals, despite being teams with much lower budgets. Jamil's teams are known to be disciplined and well drilled. It's no secret either that he likes to work with a core group of players who he has trusted through his career, none of them big names or superstars. 'At Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, two of the biggest clubs Khalid has managed, he was never really successful,' said Pradhyum Reddy, Dempo's technical director who has formerly coached in both I-League and ISL. 'The question is whether he can manage the egos (in the national team dressing room) or get rid of the egos.' Others feel Jamil's lack of experience with international football can prove to be challenging. 'Khalid was the best option among the three coaches who were shortlisted. But purely from a technical point of view, it's not the best appointment,' said Reddy. Many feel the AIFF were left with no choice than make a domestic coach appointment due to the precarious state of its finances. The budgets, according to sources, have been approved only till December, when the 15-year agreement with its marketing partners comes to an end. 'Without an assured annual payment of Rs 50 crore (from the marketing partners), AIFF will be left with nothing. At times like these, hiring an experienced Indian coach makes perfect sense,' said one member. AIFF sources said the plan is to offer Jamil a two-year contract with a one-year extension clause. Neither party is in favour of a dual club-andcountry role. THE RESUME ● Youngest Indian coach to win the I-League. ● Most number of matches in I-League by any coach. ● First full-time Indian coach in ISL, with NorthEast United and now Jamshedpur. ● Guided Aizawl FC to a historic I-League title in 2017, finishing a point ahead of Mohun Bagan. ● Reached ISL semifinals with NorthEast and Jamshedpur. Super Cup finalist with East Bengal (2018) and Jamshedpur (2025). ● Made his national team debut in 1997 in a SAFF Cup match against Bangladesh in Kathmandu. ● Played 15 matches for India till his retirement in 2006 due to injuries. ASSIGNMENTS IN 2025 CAFA Nations Cup Aug 29: Tajikistan vs India Sept 1: India vs Iran Sept 4: Afghanistan vs India AFC Asian Cup qualifiers Oct 9: Singapore vs India Oct 14: India vs Singapore Nov 18: Bangladesh vs India Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.

Who is Khalid Jamil, the new India men's football team manager?
Khalid Jamil (Images via X/@90ndstoppage & Shaji4Football) Khalid Jamil, appointed as the new head coach of the Indian men's football team on August 1, 2025, brings with him decades of experience and a deep understanding of the domestic game. Born in Kuwait City on April 21, 1977 to Punjabi parents, Jamil's early love for football was shaped by an under-14 camp where he met French legend Michel Platini. . After moving to India, Jamil turned down early offers from clubs like East Bengal and Mohun Bagan due to sponsorship reasons. He began his playing career with Mahindra United and later turned out for Air India and Mumbai FC. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! As a midfielder, he earned 40 international caps for India between 1998 and 2006 before injuries forced him to retire in 2009.

Starting with Mumbai FC in 2009, he built a reputation for doing more with less. Over seven seasons, he kept the club competitive in the I-League despite limited resources. His biggest achievement came with Aizawl FC in the 2016/17 season, when he guided the underdog club to a historic I-League title , which was also the first ever by a team from Northeast India. The triumph made his name even more popular and showcased his ability to build winning teams. Stints with East Bengal, Mohun Bagan, and NorthEast United followed. In the 2020/21 season, he became the first Indian coach to guide a team to the ISL playoffs, leading NorthEast on a 10-match unbeaten run. Later, he was also named as the league's first permanent Indian head coach with the same club. Poll Do you believe that appointing an Indian coach for the national team is a step forward for Indian football?

With Jamshedpur, he led the side to a Super Cup semi-final in 2024.
