Fifteen years old Sonam Ghosh has been selected to represent the National U17 Women’s Football team. The goalkeeper from the Zinc Football Academy in Udaipur, Rajasthan, will play two friendly matches against Uzbekistan on August 27 and August 30 in Tashkent.
Sonam has been a standout performer for Zinc Football Academy throughout the season, playing pivotal roles for the academy’s girls programme. Her consistent performances helped ZFA clinch the Rajasthan State Senior Women’s League title among three other titles. She also was a member of the team that advanced to the semi-final in the inaugural AIFF U-17 Women’s Youth League this year.
The 15-year-old goalkeeper has been part of two national camps. She hails from Arambagh in West Bengal. Sonam is part of Zinc Football Academy’s first batch of players launched in 2025. In just one year, the young squad has rapidly established itself as a force in Indian youth football, securing multiple titles including the Rajasthan Senior Women’s League, Doon Cup, Under-15 Asmita Football League, and DAV U-19 Nationals.
