Where to watch Indian football team matches in CAFA Nations Cup 2025 in India?

Indian Football Team will play their opening fixture in the CAFA Nations Cup 2025 against Tajikistan.

Indian Football Team will start their CAFA Nations Cup 2025 campaign on August 29. This is the first time in more than a decade that the Indian Men’s team will be managed by an Indian.

Recently, the All Indian Football Federation (AIFF) appointed former India international Khalid Jamil as the head coach of the senior national team. The CAFA Nations Cup 2025 is the first assignment for the newly appointed coach.

Indian Football Team has been in abysmal form in the last 12 months. With just a handful of wins, the Blue Tigers have dropped massively in the FIFA rankings. Not just that, but their start in the 2027 AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers has also been disappointing, with a draw and a loss in two matches. The CAFA Nations Cup will be an opportunity for India to find some rhythm before the qualifiers in October.
