The Football Delhi selection committee named midfielder Deepika Venkatesh captain of the Delhi side after a two-month training at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi.

Jyoti Ann Burrett, last year's Delhi captain, will not go with the team due to an injury sustained just before the team's departure for the event.

"Our women players have worked hard in the coaching camp, and having the opportunity to participate in the National Championship after a two-year break would undoubtedly motivate them and help them grow in their game," said Football Delhi President Shaji Prabhakara. We are optimistic about the team's performance at the National Championship.
