India will look to book its spot in the AFC Under-17 Women’s Asian Cup for the second edition running as the Young Tigresses take on host Malaysia in their decisive final Group E qualifier on Sunday.

How can India qualify for AFC U-17 Women’s Asian Cup 2027?

India and Malaysia enter the final match level on six points after winning both their opening fixtures. The Young Tigresses lead the group on goal difference, having scored 16 goals without conceding, while Malaysia has scored five and is also yet to concede.

Avoiding defeat will be enough for Joakim Alexandersson’s side to qualify as group winner. If the teams finish level on points following a draw, their head-to-head record will remain equal, after which India’s superior overall goal difference will place it top. Malaysia, meanwhile, needs a victory to overtake India and claim the only qualifying spot available from the group.

Only the eight group winners from the Qualifiers will advance to the tournament next year, joining defending champion DPR Korea, Japan, Australia and host China PR, who qualified directly after finishing in the top four in the 2026 edition. India reached the quarterfinals and made history by reaching the knockout stage for the first time.
