Siliguri: India women's football team will look to continue their SAFF Championship dominance when they open their campaign against Afghanistan in a Group B encounter at the Kanchenjunga Stadium here on Tuesday.
"We are well prepared and girls are raring to give it a go against Afghanistan", coach Sajid Dar told www.the-aiff.com on the eve of the game.
"We need all three points to kick off our campaign in the best possible way. Yes, it's true that we have enormous respect for them but that won't deter us from trying to clinch a win on Tuesday," the coach added.
"I have heard about it and definitely, this Afghanistan outfit will be a hard nut to crack. We have our own strategies and we'll try to execute them on the field," Dar said.
Dar informed that the squad is completely fit.
Incidentally, Afghanistan are not a part of the South Asian Football Federation zone anymore as they joined the Central Asian Zone earlier this year.
