KOLKATA: It was a thriller of a finale to the seventh season of Indian Women’s League (IWL) as Odisha FC clinched their first women’s title by beating Kickstart FC 6-0 at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on Sunday.
Odisha FC’s ambition for the Indian top-tier title has been evident in their two years in the league. From roping in Crispin Chhetri, who had guided Sethu FC to the final in 2022, at the helm to luring in the best performing Indian players in the league — in the likes of Indumathi Kathiresan from defending champions Gokulam Kerala — and providing them with the top-class facilities, Odisha had left no stone unturned in their hurried quest for the women’s crown.
