The All India Football Federation (AIFF) is likely to give a contract extension to national women's team head coach Amelia Valverde. India lost all their group-stage matches of the ongoing AFC Women's Asian Cup Down Under, including a 0-11 battering at the hands of Japan in the second match. "Let Paul, Pasha and Vijayan meet and take a call," AIFF deputy secretary general M. Satyanarayan said on Wednesday. The women's team will play a Fifa invitational tournament during the April window in Africa. The integrity officer will also probe what prompted the players to write the letter on the eve of such an important tournament.
