Players assembled in Jamshedpur feature 12 players from the team that won the SAFF U-18 Women's Championship title earlier this year. The camp for the SAFF U-18 was also held in Jamshedpur. The Fifa under-17 women’s World Cup would be played in Bhubaneswar, Goa and Mumbai.

The Secretary of the state football association, Ghulam Rabbani, called this move a significant development for women football in the state. “It is the first time that such a large number of our girls have been selected in the probables. It shows that besides hockey, tribal girls from Jharkhand are now starting to excel in football at the national level. It is a big achievement and we are hopeful that they would make it to the final team too,” Rabbani told The Telegraph.
