The Indian team will take on Chinese Taipei in their final Group C match of the AFC Under-20 Women’s Asian Cup 2026 on Wednesday.
Head coach Joakim Alexandersson was clear about what is required from his side.
“We need to be a lot stronger and more determined in both 18-yard boxes, in how we defend our own box, and in how we score goals against them. We need to be more direct in attack, tougher, and more clinical. But we must also remember that we are facing a very good team,” he said.

India will take on Chinese Taipei in its final Group C fixture of the AFC Under-20 Women’s Asian Cup 2026 on Wednesday.
After defeats in their opening two matches against Japan and Australia, both India and Chinese Taipei find themselves in identical situations, chasing a result that could yet keep their tournament alive.
How can India qualify for the quarterfinals in the AFC U-20 Women’s Asian Cup 2026?
India’s goal difference of -11 makes things a bit more complicated than Chinese Taipei’s -7. The Young Tigresses’ hopes of reaching the knockout stage for the first time since 2004 rest on securing a place among the two best third-placed teams across all groups.
Their task will be simplified if either the Group A match between Vietnam and Bangladesh on Tuesday or the Group B match between Uzbekistan and Jordan on Wednesday ends in a draw. In that case, the winner of India vs Chinese Taipei will qualify for the quarterfinals, regardless of goal difference.
But if there is a winner in both those games, India would need to win by a handsome margin to avoid being the worst-ranked third-placed side in the three groups. At the moment, the goal differences of the other teams are – Bangladesh (-3), Vietnam (-6), Uzbekistan (-8) and Jordan (-9).
