India announce 26-member squad for Brazil, Uruguay and Panama matches
India's head coach Khalid Jamil unveiled a 26-player squad on Monday for the forthcoming friendly matches against Panama, Brazil and Uruguay. The games against Brazil and Uruguay are scheduled to be played at Kolkata’s Salt Lake Stadium on October 3 and 6 respectively, while the match against Panama will take place at Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on September 26.
Jamil's team will commence a preparatory camp on September 14 in Bengaluru. Following the Panama match, India will travel to Kolkata on September 28 for the remaining two matches. The invitation to participate in the FIFA ASEAN Cup in June prompted India to withdraw from the competition, allowing them to prioritize the high-profile friendly against Brazil and avoid scheduling conflicts.
The AIFF announced the inclusion of Uruguay and Panama matches after India's decision to focus on their significant fixture against Brazil.
