Indian Women's Football Team Receives Undersized Kits Ahead of AFC Asian Cup; AIFF Provides Replacements

Ahead of the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026 in Australia, the Indian women's football team faced a significant issue when undersized kits intended for age-group teams were sent by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). The ill-fitting jerseys, arriving just days before their opening match, affected player morale and preparation. Senior players collectively wrote to the AIFF demanding proper apparel. The federation sourced new kits locally, providing appropriate-sized jerseys before the tournament began, addressing the immediate concern.
