Former India international Aditi Chauhan, who announced her retirement from football last week, was named the mentor of Warriorz FC — a side competing in the MFA (Mumbai Football Association) Women’s Premier League.
Previously known as Rudra FC, the team was acquired by Capri Sports, and joins the Warriorz clan. First up on the agenda for the Warriorz FC will be to try and claim the coveted MFA Women’s Premier League title, and then eventually earn promotion to the Indian Women’s League.
“It is great to see big corporates like Capri Sports investing in women’s football and taking ownership to create a better system for the players. I’m looking forward to sharing my experience and knowledge not just with the players but also the management, wherein we work towards holistic growth of everyone involved. Not just producing champions but also leaders of tomorrow,” said team mentor Aditi.
“Warriorz FC represents far more than just a football team for Capri Sports — it is a strategic opportunity to create meaningful, long-term impact on the women’s football ecosystem in India. Driving that change begins at the grassroots, where foundational interventions are most critical. With Aditi Chauhan bringing her invaluable experience and expertise to the project, we believe we have all the right elements in place to build something truly transformative,” said Apurv Gupta, Director – Contact Sports, Capri Sports.
