India U23 vs Maldives U23: The highly anticipated match between the India U23 Football Team and the Maldives U23 Football Team in the AFC U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers has been cancelled. The game, which was planned for September 6th, was cancelled after the Maldives Football Association (FAM) announced their withdrawal from the competition. The Maldivian squad made the decision due to budgetary restrictions and logistical obstacles.
FAM expressed sincere remorse in a statement made earlier today for having to take this dramatic measure. The association claimed that they were unable to meet the standards despite their best attempts to get the necessary funding and assistance for the team’s tour. Officials from the Maldives Football Association had met with AIFF. It was an attempt to fix the situation and investigate options so that the match could proceed as planned.
However, given the limited time available, establishing a mutually acceptable solution proved impossible. On September 3rd, the Indian squad travelled to China.
