The All India Football Federation (AIFF) announced a 34-member list of probable for the Indian senior women's team for the AFC Olympic Qualifiers Round 2, later this year.

The camp, which will begin in Bhubaneswar from July 30 onwards, will allow the players to train and prepare for the upcoming challenge. The final squad selection for the Qualifiers will be made after the training camp.

In the Round 2 of the AFC Women's Olympic Qualifiers, the Blue Tigresses have been clubbed alongside Japan (October 26), Vietnam (October 29), and hosts Uzbekistan (November 1) in Group C. The matches will be held between October 26 and November 1 at the JAR Stadium and the Bunyodkor Stadium, Tashkent.
