Grace Dangmei (born 5 February 1996) is an Indian women's international footballer who plays as a forward for the Indian Women's League side Gokulam Kerala and the India women's national team.[1] She was part of the team at the 2014 Asian Games[2] and at the 2016 South Asian Games where she scored two goals against Sri Lanka.[3][4] During the 2016 SAFF Women's Championship, she scored a goal in the first half of the final, helping India clinch its fourth consecutive title at the tournament.[5][6]

Early life

Grace Dangmei was born to Simon Dangmei and Rita Dangmei. She belongs to the Rongmei tribe from Dimdailong Village, Kangvai Sub-Division, Churachandpur District, Manipur.[7]

Club career

Dangmei played the inaugural edition of the Indian Women's League with KRYPHSA and spent another season with the club. She joined Sethu in 2019 for the 3rd edition of the IWL. During the 2018 Indian Women's League, she was awarded the Emerging Player Award.[8] She scored a brace in her first match with Sethu FC against Manipur Police Sports Club on 6 May 2019, and won the 2018–19 IWL season.

She then joined Gokulam Kerala in 2021,[9] and earned vice-captaincy. Later on July 15, 2021, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) nominated Gokulam Kerala to represent India in the AFC Women's Club Championship 2020–21 pilot tournament.[10] She appeared in the matches of the 2021 AFC Women's Club Championship. She had a brilliant performance against FC Bunyodkor, which is the women's team of Uzbekistan on 14 November, where her side won 3–1.[11][12][13] In that continental tournament, they achieved third place. In the 2021–22 season, her team Gokulam Kerala clinched the title and qualified for the AFC Women's Club Championship.

On July 2, 2022, it was announced Grace had signed a professional contract abroad, with the Uzbek Women's League side PFC Sevinch Karshi[14][15] on a season-long deal.[16] She helped her Uzbek team win both the league and cup in that calendar year, scoring 4 goals in 14 league matches.

International career

Grace appeared with India U-19 in 2014.

From my parents to all the coaches that I have trained under, as well as the players that I have played with, I am grateful for the support that I have always received. I feel people don't realize that we are much ahead of the men's team in terms of FIFA rankings and maybe we don't get enough credit sometimes, but with us participating in more and more international competitions, that will hopefully change.

— Grace Dangmei, on her journey with football.[17]

She made her senior international debut at the AFC Qualifiers in 2013, and became a regular member ofthe women's national team.[18] In the six years with the national team, she made 37 appearances and scored 14 goals.[19] Later, at the 2019 South Asian Games, they clinched a gold, defeating Nepal. Her brace against Indonesia at the 2020 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifier Round 2 match, gave her popular fame.[17]

Grace represented India at the 2021 International Women's Football Tournament of Manaus, where they faced teams like Brazil,[20][21] and Chile. She scored a goal against Venezuela on December 1, in their 2–1 defeat.[22]

On 7 September 2022, at the SAFF Women's Championship in Nepal, she scored a goal against Pakistan in their 3–0 win.
