The Indian women's senior national team will be travelling to Spain to play in the COTIF tournament from August 1 to 6.

This is the first time ever that the women's senior team is travelling to Europe to participate in a tournament.

The exposure tour has been arranged by All India Football Federation in coordination with Sports Authority of India keeping in mind the crucial Olympic Qualifiers which are slated to be held in November.

Furthermore, the senior team will also be defending their title in the SAFF women's championship scheduled to be held later this year, a tournament in which the girls are unbeaten in their last 19 matches.

The squad will be leaving Indian shores early morning tomorrow.

The team was given an official send-off at the Football House where the AIFF general secretary Kushal Das wished them luck.

"This is a very important trip especially with the Olympic Qualifiers being around the corner. Women in Indian sports are achieving laurels at the highest level and the Indian women's hockey team is currently unbeaten in the Hockey World Cup.

The AIFF has extensive plans for women's football in India and all of you are part of the plan. Good luck for the tournament."
