India's Second-String Team Faces Maldives for SAFF Championship Semifinal SpotPreviousNext

India's second-string football team, led by Under-23 coach Naushad Moosa, faces the Maldives in the SAFF Championship group stage with a semifinal spot at stake. India needs at least a draw to advance, relying on their current goal difference advantage. Despite a strong 3-2 win over Pakistan, Moosa emphasized the need for better coordination and concentration. Pakistan has already secured a semifinal place, while India aims to avoid a heavy defeat to maintain their tournament position.
