A selection committee meeting was held in Kohlapur immediately after the conclusion of the Hero Junior Girls National Football Championship 2019-20 to analyse the performances of scouted probables from the tournament.

The committee also took into consideration the scouted players from various state trials, and drew up a preliminary list of 35 probables, all of whom have been summoned for a preliminary coaching camp for India’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup India 2020 campaign.

The probables will be reporting to Goa from Thursday (May 2, 2019), under former India International Alex Ambrose, as the coach. Ambrose, was earlier in charge as head coach of the India U-19 Women’s National Team last year.
