Great scheduling by AIFF. But I hope they are also focusing on fitness and strategy, not just match practice. The loss to Ukraine is a bit worrying. Need to tighten the defence before the Asian Cup.

Finally seeing some serious investment in women's football. Playing in Turkey, then off to Australia... this is the kind of tour the men's team gets. Hope it translates to a good performance against Vietnam!

As a football fan living in India, it's so refreshing to see this. Hertha BSC is a big name in Germany. The experience from these matches will be invaluable. Let's get behind the team!

The timing is a bit odd, no? Matches on Jan 30, Feb 2, 4, and 7. That's a very tight schedule. Hope the players don't get fatigued or injured before the main tournament. Management needs to rotate the squad wisely.

So proud of our women! They work so hard with less spotlight. I'll be staying up to catch the 19:30 IST match. Bring it on, Spartak Moscow! 💪
