India to kickstart title defence against arch rivals Pakistan
The Blue Tigers will commence their SAFF Championship campaign against arch rivals Pakistan on 5th November 2026 at 15:30 IST
India have been drawn alongside Maldives and Pakistan in Group B. The two teams in the group will qualify for the semi finals. India are the favourites to not only top the group but also to win the SAFF Championship.
However, the road ahead won’t be easy for India as they will most likely miss their senior team players. Moreover, Bangladesh, the favourites to top Group A, will also have a major home advantage and the last time India faced Bangladesh, the Bangla Tigers got the better of Khalid’s side in AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers.
