Well done 👏 What a start for Khalid Jamil! Those two early goals and Gurpreet’s brilliance under the bar helped #BlueTigers to register a first win after March 2025. A winning start to #CAFANationsCup and a win over higher ranked #Tajikistan will help the team to grow in

A statement win! What a debut for Khalid Jamil, getting a huge result away from home against a higher-ranked side. This victory isn't just a win; it's a statement of intent. The defensive organization was brilliant, and it was fantastic to see our defenders getting on the

This is a fantastic initiative! If ESPN India can create a monthly or quarterly ranking system for National Sports Federations (NSFs), managed by an independent agency, it would be a game-changer. This would bring much-needed transparency and accountability to how our

#ManCity struggles are far from over. #Brighton with a 2-1 shock win over #ManchesterCity Haaland once again scored for the #MCFC but Pep is unable to find answers to dominate the games with goals. #PL #premierleague2025

A special free kick goal was the difference between Liverpool and Arsenal. It was an even game but #Arsenal couldn’t put an expected attacking display against the Champions. #LIVARS

It's a huge test for the #BlueTigers today as we face Iran in the #CAFANationsCup. They may be ranked 20th in the world, but we can expect a spirited display by our team after our opening win against Tajikistan under Khalid Jamil. This team has elevated the expectation with a

“We have to believe in ourselves and stay united at all times. When you face top opposition like Iran, we have to make the most of our chances and minimise our mistakes. You need to be focused every second.” -- Sandesh Jhingan, India defender timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/india…

Finally, hearing on AIFF Constitution concluded in Supreme Court. We can expect two orders - first, short order on commercial and media rights and second, aiff constitution. Short order is expected anytime. Hoping that with the final order governance of #IndianFootball will

Lessons learned against Iran. While the scoreline isn't a shock, we have to address our struggles in attack and our transition game. This team needs to remember how to score. The real test is now: a must-win match against Afghanistan to advance. Every moment of game time

A good win against Bahrain to start the AFC U23 Asian Cup qualification competition on a very positive note. Suhail goal would be remembered for his individual brilliance, top quality finish and the potential Suhail demonstrated. #INDBAH #IndianFootball #AFCU23Qualifiers
