The match will be streamed live on the Indian Football Team Facebook page and the Indian Football YouTube channel.
Both sides were taken to penalty shootouts by their respective semifinal opponents where Manipur defeated Odisha and Railways edged Mizoram.
Twenty-time title winners Manipur have been on a rampage, scoring an astounding 27 goals so far.
Padma Shri awardee Bembem Devi, the head coach of Manipur, is wary of their opponents’ strength. “Railways are a very experienced side. When I used to play against them, they have always been strong opponents. We are going to have to be tough and competitive,” she said.
Railways, after topping their group with 20 goals, ground it out against a competitive Mizoram side in the semifinal and have set up a fourth final against Manipur.
Railways head coach Kamlakanta Singh seemed fully aware of the size of the task they face on Wednesday. “My players are fighters, and will keep going until the end,” he maintained.
“Manipur is rich in football culture and I respect them a lot. But we won’t take any pressure going onto the pitch. We are very confident of playing a good game of football,” concluded Kamlakanta.
