 * Keep the official documents clearly state there's a women's team in existence, FIFA also claims they played six matches in 2002-03. SportingFlyer  T · C  22:12, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: FIFA doc recognises that there is a national women's "A" team (end of this doc). Pam  D  10:31, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep per above. GiantSnowman 10:42, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Just because the team is no longer in existence "as of 2019" doesn't mean that it wasn't in existence before, or that it's not notable. Remember, notability is not temporary. Smartyllama (talk) 19:00, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems legit. Peter303x (talk) 03:31, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per PamD.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 17:42, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Although I cannot find a single mention of them online, 's high-quality RS proves they do exist. Given the circumstances in this country, we should be mindful that this team/association exists in difficult circumstances so their lack of classical-RS is understandable. Britishfinance (talk) 16:00, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Not "my" RS, but the one which has been in the article from its first move to mainspace in 2012 (at that stage it was ref 5, sourcing the statement "The teams were still around in 2009", referring to FIFA-recognised senior and junior national teams). It was still there, now as ref 2, in the article when it was proposed for deletion. I just took the trouble to look at the article and confirm what it stated. This article should never have been proposed for deletion: it's clear if you read the article and the sources that the team has existed, whether or not it still does today. "There is no team", whether or not true, is irrelevant. Pam  D  16:14, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
