Captain Sunil Chhetri insists on Indian Football Team’s participation in Asian Games

The Blue Tigers’ makeover has resulted in three consecutive titles. They have stayed undefeated in all 11 matches this calendar year, winning seven and drawing four. India cruised over Myanmar and Kyrgyzstan to win the Hero Tri-Nation championship before defeating a tenacious Lebanon in the Hero Intercontinental Cup.

In the subsequent SAFF Championship, India faced a more difficult challenge in the shape of Lebanon and Kuwait. The Blue Tigers defeated both Middle Eastern nations to win their eighth championship.

In conclusion, India’s exceptional performance has not only earned them three trophies. But also a beneficial place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers and the AFC Asian Cup in 2027.
