Reaching the semifinals of this tournament would guarantee India a spot in the 2026 FIFA U-17 Womens World Cup. Pritika starred for the Young Tigresses with a brace, while Senjam and Joya also found the net as India registered their first win in the tournament since 2005. Divyani Linda launched a long ball forward from right-back, which Pritika controlled brilliantly before twisting past Lebanon defender Joya Bou Assaf.
