FIFA Women's World Cup the next mountain to climb for the Blue Tigresses

New Delhi, July 9 (UNI) It's been four days since India's historic qualification for the AFC Women's Asian Cup Australia 2026. But the dust from the celebrations isn't settling anytime soon, and the women's football hype is only on an upward curve.
Captain for the game, Ngangbam Sweety Devi, who cried her heart out after the final whistle, while being enveloped in hugs from her teammates and support staff, could finally gather her thoughts and put them into words, albeit still reeling from the emotionally charged night.
"Honestly, it’s still hard to express," said the centre-back. "There were so many mixed emotions. It didn’t even feel real. We kept reassuring each other, 'Yes, it has happened, we’ve actually done it.' That feeling… it’s indescribable. Anyone who supports women’s football or is part of it would understand what it feels like to qualify. It was overwhelming."
