SAFF U-16 Championship: Where and how to watch Nepal vs India game?

India need a point to qualify for the SAFF U-16 Championship semi-finals.

India are just a point away from securing their berth in the SAFF U-16 Championship 2023 semi-final, but the Blue Colts’ focus remains squarely on their last Group A match against Nepal.

India began their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Bangladesh and are set to face Nepal at the Changlimithang Stadium in Thimphu, Bhutan, on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. Head coach Ishfaq Ahmed put off all talks about the possible permutations and combinations of their semi-final opponents, till the spot was actually secured.

“Yes, we have been watching all the matches of the other groups. If we top our group, we could play hosts Bhutan, and if we finish second, we will play Pakistan. I have assessed their strengths and weaknesses, but all that will come later,” said Ahmed to the AIFF Media on the eve of the match. “Right now, we must focus on getting the job done against Nepal.”

As it currently stands, India are top of Group A with three points from one game, with a goal difference of +1, having defeated Bangladesh 1-0 in the opening game. Meanwhile, Bangladesh have clawed their way back on the table, after defeating Nepal 1-0. A draw or a win will secure the top spot in the group for India, but a loss may make things more complicated.

While all the permutations and combinations exist, the Blue Colts are simply looking to earn the three points to maintain their winning momentum.
