What is the reason behind India’s withdrawal from the Women’s Asian Cup?

The reason why India chose to withdraw from the Asian Cup of women's football is mainly because there were many positive cases of new crown among the Indian women's football team. According to the regulations of the AFC, if you want to participate in the Women's Asian Cup, the number of participants must be at least 13. However, now the Indian women's football team has more confirmed cases, and the total number of players who can participate is not less than 13. People, so they had no choice but to choose to give up the Women's Asian Cup.

On January 24, 2022, the AFC official news also officially announced that the Indian women’s football team announced its official withdrawal from the Women’s Asian Cup. All Indian team games were cancelled, and the results of the games that have already been played will not be counted. . Originally, the Indian women's football team was in the same group as the Chinese women's football team. Due to the withdrawal of the Indian team, the match between the Chinese women's football team and the Indian women's football team originally scheduled for January 26 will also be cancelled.

In fact, the Indian women’s football team’s withdrawal from the Asian Cup is a helpless move. You must know that the Indian women’s football team is the host of this competition. If such special circumstances did not arise, they would definitely not choose to withdraw. After all, being the host country has some advantages, so it is easy to achieve some good results in the game. In addition, the match between the Indian women's football team and Chinese Taipei will also be cancelled. Before withdrawing from the match, the Chinese and Indian teams had already received a draw and were originally ranked second in the group. In fact, the withdrawal of the Indian women's football team is a good thing for other teams, because the epidemic in India is indeed serious now. If there are still some players in the Indian women's football team who have been infected but have not been diagnosed, then It is easy for cross-infection to occur.

I have to say that the epidemic in India is actually quite serious now. To put it bluntly, the relevant departments in India have not paid attention to this epidemic. In India, various folk remedies have even emerged to treat the epidemic. However, these have no scientific basis. The number of confirmed cases of the epidemic in India is still soaring.
