Maymol Rocky recalls meeting 2019 Women's World Cup hero Megan Rapinoe

Indian women's national team coach Maymol Rocky has claimed that 2019 has been the golden year for women's football in India.

"I think we played more than 40 international matches, traveled to more than 20 countries which was never done before and the girls were very lucky to be in this plan. We had the best year in 2019, for me what I would term as the golden year in women's football," Rocky told AIFF in an Instagram chat.

Not only was the year a landmark for Indian women, there was recognition for the women's game on the global scale as well.
