2020 was supposed to be a massive year for women's football in India.
This year was when the global event of FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup was scheduled to take place in India but the Coronavirus pandemic forced the football body to alter their plans. The World Cup was initially postponed to early 2021 but later cancelled due to the practical difficulty of pulling off such a big event amidst the pandemic.
As the hosts of the U-17 World Cup, India had begun their preparations under head coach Thomas Dennerby. He has called up his squad for training camps and everything seemed to be falling place for the young girls before the Government was forced to lock the country down.
