India vs Brazil Football Live Score, FIFA International Friendly: Empty seats galore as Brazil, Indian players walk out
India faced off against Brazil in a FIFA international friendly match at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. Despite ticket sales reportedly being low and concerns over the match's cost, the game is expected to be remembered as a significant moment in Indian football history. The disparity between the two teams was immense, with Brazil being the highest-ranked team India has ever hosted in an official FIFA international friendly.
India, though arguably the better team in their friendly match against Panama, which also participated in the recent World Cup, is ranked 138 places below Brazil, who currently hold the sixth position in the world rankings. However, Brazil has been experiencing a downturn in their illustrious history, having not won the World Cup since 2002.
Despite this, they remain a formidable force in world football. The match ultimately saw empty seats as both India and Brazil players walked out.
