On this occasion, the General Secretary of HPFA expressed his pleasure in organizing the first-ever Women’s League in his state and quoted that –
” Since the Himachal girl’s team became champion in Junior Girl’s National Championship in 2019, football has started to develop in Himachal. Earlier it was tough to get the girls out in the field let alone training them. With the commencement of this league, this will act as a huge motivation to the girls out there”
Neeraj Kholiya, the owner of Techtro Swades United FC expressed his views on the league and the efforts being taken as he quoted – “We totally believe in the efforts taken by the state association which is trying to develop football in this state. We always dreamed of having a women’s team which can compete at the highest level and we are thankful to the Association for providing such a platform for all the girls from this state.”
Qualified teams from the league will play in the IWL playoffs to be held in Odisha from the 2nd week of April. All 4 teams are preparing their best to win the title and get a spot in the IWL playoffs.
