KOLKATA: Odisha FC Women will take the field at Thong Nhat Stadium in Vietnam on Wednesday, with horrors of their previous encounter at the same venue still vivid in their memory. Their 17-0 demolition at the hands of reigning AFC women's club champions Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies was testimony to the huge gulf that the current IWL champions - and Indian women's football - need to cover to be in reckoning for the top-level game in Asia.
However, the Odisha club made their intention to work on improving themselves through a statement from their club president Raj Athwal on Monday with the assurance that the humiliating defeat at the hands of the two-time Japanese league champions would not stray them off course and the club would keep their faith on Crispin Chhetri to take Odisha FC on the path to improvement.
