2021 Saff Cup News

Indian footballer Suresh Wangjam believes the experience gained from the recent SAFF Cup win will be carried along his entire career. The youngster played a pivotal role in the title-winning campaign and he even scored the second goal in the final against Nepal, which India eventually won 3-0.

Indian men’s football team head coach Igor Stimac stated that the leadership skills of Sunil Chhetri on the pitch are special. The Croat manager also expressed how the talismanic striker is a role model to the entire team, being the most passionate member in the dressing room of the whole lot.

The Indian football team was held to a 1-1 draw by a lower-ranked Bangladesh side, in the opening encounter of the SAFF Championship in Male, Maldives, on Monday. Going into the tournament as favourites, India could not take advantage when the opposition was reduced to 10 players.
