Italy's Pamela Conti to Coach India U17 Women for AFC Asian Cup

Pamela Conti, a former Italian soccer player, is going to coach the India U17 Women's team.

This is a big deal because it's the first time three Indian women's teams have reached the continental stage.

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) wants to help these teams do well and maybe even qualify for the FIFA World Cup.

Conti has a lot of experience coaching, including with the Venezuela women's national team, which is ranked 42nd in the world.

The AIFF is very excited about this because they think a good performance in the Asian Cup could make women's football even more popular in India.
