Dubai: Vande Mataram, India's national song, is set to be performed prior to the national anthem at Saturday's India-Brazil friendly match in Kolkata, according to Davina Pindoria. The practice has been observed in India's recent international cricket matches, including a T20I against Afghanistan and a game against Japan. This move is anticipated to mark a significant night for Indian football, as Brazil, the five-time world champions and FIFA-ranked fifth team, prepares to play their first senior men's international in the country against India, who currently hold the 138th rank.
The match, scheduled to take place at the Salt Lake Stadium with a capacity of 85,000, is expected to be one of the most significant football events hosted in India in recent years, featuring Brazil's star players such as Vinicius Junior, Endrick, and Bruno Guimaraes.
