AIFF on Tuesday announced a reward of Rs 22 lakh for the India U-17 women's team for its maiden entry into the AFC U-17 Asian Cup recently.

India had defeated Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan by identical 2-1 margins last week in Bishkek to top Group G with six points and qualify for the prestigious AFC tournament in China next year, their first-ever continental qualification in this age group. India had last participated in the U-17 Women's Asian Cup in 2005, but no qualifiers were held for the tournament.
