India Officially Withdraw From AFC Women’s Asia Cup 2022 After Cancellation of Group A Game Against Chinese Taipei
This is a huge blow to women's football in India as all their matches and results have now been considered null and void. Group A would now have only three sides--Iran, Chinese Taipei and China PR after India's withdrawal. India had played out a goalless draw against Iran in their first match of the competition.
India withdrew from the AFC Women's Asia Cup 2022 after a COVID-19 outbreak in the camp, which made it difficult for the hosts to field the required number of players for their Group A match against Chinese Taipei on January 23. The match had to be cancelled and a confirmation of the Indian team's withdrawal came on Monday.
