Odisha FC Women’s Seek Redemption Against Hops FC in Crucial IWL Clash
 

Odisha FC Women will take on Hops FC in the Indian Women’s League (IWL) 2024-25 on Sunday, April 6 2025, at 3:30 PM IST in Bhubaneswar. Following a 2-2 draw against Kickstart FC, the Kalinga Warriors are determined to return to winning ways.

The team will benefit from the return of midfielders Grace and Tanvi, who have recovered from injuries. Fans will hope their presence adds some much-needed spark.

Head Coach Crispin Chettri acknowledged the team's struggles this season but remains hopeful. “The performance has been low, but that’s football. We created chances in the last game, and we’ll try our best to play as a team moving forward,” he said. 

In their last meeting with Hops FC in January, Odisha won 2-0, but Chettri knows the young Delhi side will be eager to cause an upset. “We must win this match,” he stressed. “They’ll come at us early, but we’ve gained some momentum and I trust the team to perform.”

Goalkeeper Anshika, who got a chance to play after Shreya’s injury, is determined to give her best. “It’s a big opportunity, and I’ll give 100 percent to prove myself,” she said, adding that the team is training hard to bounce back from their recent form.

Hops FC, with only one win this season, will be looking for a much-needed victory. Odisha FC, however, will be focused on securing the points to keep themselves out of relegation.
