History

In April 2016 it was announced by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) president, Praful Patel, that an Indian women's football league would begin in October 2016.[2] Then, in July 2016, the AIFF hosted a workshop program for the proposed women's league at which Pune City, an Indian Super League side, were present.[3] Finally, in October 2016, it was revealed that the Indian Women's League would kick off with a preliminary round on 17 October in which the top two teams during that round would qualify for a place in the league. Pune City were not part of this round.[4]

A few months later, on 12 January 2017, the team announced that they would be fielding a side in the league proper, which would begin on 23 January.[5]

Ownership

The women's team, like the men's side, would be owned by a consortium which consists of the Wadhawan Group and Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor.[6]
