Catch Every Update, Anytime, Anywhere
The Blue Tigers have had a very disappointing year in International football. Apart from the ongoing SAFF Championship 2026, India have had a string of bad results this year. The year started off with a win against Hong Kong in their final match of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers.
They then went to England to play in the Unity Cup 2026, where they lost to both Jamaica and Zimbabwe with score lines of 2-0 & 1-0 respectively. They then travelled to Tajikistan to play two friendly matches, where the Blue Tigers lost one & drew the other.
India next faced three high profile nations in International friendlies during the September-October international window. The Blue Tigers started out their 3 friendlies with a 1-1 draw against a very higher ranked Panama. But then went onto lose 4-0 to Brazil and then 6-1 to Uruguay.
The Blue Tigers’ next match was in the SAFF Championship 2026, against a lower ranked Pakistan, who they beat 3-2, courtesy of two goals from Suhail Ahmad Bhat. They most recently played Maldives on 11th November, where they won 1-0, as Suhail Bhat converted a Penalty in the 38th minute of the game.
The matches against New Zealand are very important as India will want to cap off their year with a good result against a higher ranked opponent like the All Whites.
New Zealand had a disappointing World Cup
The All Whites have had a rollar coaster of a year, with a string of bad results, but a good run in a minor tournament in the September-October International window.
New Zealand’s highlight & lowlight of the year would be their participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Just prior to the World Cup, they lost two preparation games, 4-0 to Haiti and 1-0 to England. In the World Cup, the All Whites were placed in a group with Iran, Egypt & Belgium, where they conceded 10 goals from 3 games.
New Zealand then participated in the Kirin Cup Soccer 2026, where they managed to beat Panama in the Semi-Finals, but lost the finals 2-1 to Japan. New Zealand will try to maximize both of their results in order to make sure they get a fresh start before the next World Cup cycle begins to take momentum.
