India entered this match without the legendary Sunil Chhetri & our top attacking player, Lallianzuala Chhangte, after just 1 training session. Despite this, Iraq required 2 penalties during regulation time to push the game into a penalty shootout.#IndianFootball #IRQIND #KingsCup.
Iraq were the better team today by all accounts despite our poor performance. India are a strong team and performed as if this was their World Cup final. We will get better in the next game inshallah . 🇮🇶 🇮🇳

The last 25 minutes with the dynamic front four of Liston Colaco, Mahesh Singh, Lallianzuala Chhangte, and Edmund Lalrindika showed why we must give our technical players more chances. They can interchange & play in any position. India has no actual number nine, and we shouldn't.

Not even 1% surprised with the performance of India U-20 football team under Ranjan Chaudhuri in the SAFF U-20 Championship. The reports from the camp were shocking: outdated 90’s training methods, questionable player selections, and more. Sadly, no one at AIFF or the technical.
The India U-20 Team under Ranjan Chaudhuri looks like one of the worst youth teams in recent times. We are struggling against Bhutan and Maldives. Last edition MVP Manglenthang Kipgen, who had an amazing #PLNextGen against #PremierLeague teams, was again kept on the bench in.

First, we shut down Indian Arrows, and now, two years later, we’re restarting the same project under a different name. Instead of spending money on just 20 players, invest that money in a new U20 league, which will give us 200 players.
The India U20 men’s national team will get competitive game time in the I-League. With an eye on the AFC Asian Cup 2026 and the Asian Games 2026, the AIFF is preparing in advance with its current U20 squad. The India U20 team will receive amnesty from promotion and relegation.
