The residential camp will be held in Goa from December 1 to January 15.
Goa Football Association president Churchill Alemao congratulated the two Goan players for being selected among the 30 probables and exhorted them to put in their best to earn a place in the final India squad for the AFC Championship. “It is a proud moment for Goan women’s football,” Churchill stated.
