The Indian women’s team will face Nepal in an exhibition match at the Paljor Stadium, Gangtok, on Wednesday, as per the official website of the All India Football Federation (AIFF).

The fixture comes just two days after the conclusion of the Tri-Nation International Friendlies in Shillong, held during the FIFA Women’s International Match Window, where Nepal secured a 2-1 win over India.

The match, organised by the Sikkim Football Association (SFA), promises to be a special occasion for football fans in the region, marking the Blue Tigresses’ first-ever international appearance in Sikkim. On Tuesday, the Chief Minister of Sikkim, Prem Singh Tamang Golay, hosted the Indian and Nepalese women’s teams for dinner on the eve of the match against Nepal.
