India U-23 vs Tajikistan U-23 Live Streaming: Where & how to watch U-23 Tri-Nation Championship 2026 Live?
The Blue Colts will host Tajikistan U-23 on March 31.
The campaign opener for the India U-23 men’s football team has shown the attacking dominance of the team as they faced Bhutan U-23 at their first match on March 28th, 2026, at Golden Jubilee Stadium, Yupia, Arunachal Pradesh.
The Blue Colts edged past the Red Dragons with a big margin of a scoreline of 5-0. If Indian players had put every single chance they had created early on, then the scorecard would speak much more than this. The sheer mentality and control-driven football from the India U23 team has been a different style, which has been shown by head coach Naushad Moosa.
After beating the Bhutan U-23 men’s team, the India U-23 men’s football team is set to host the Tajikistan U-23 men’s team on March 31st, 2026, from 19:00 IST at the Golden Jubilee Stadium, Yupia, Arunachal Pradesh.
This match is expected to be the most important and competitive match of the friendly tournament, as both teams have registered their win against the Bhutan U-23 men’s team previously.
Both teams will be eager to put their best efforts against each other as this kind of tournament will not only develop the youth level of football, but also it will develop the footballing ecosystem.
What to expect from the clash?
India U-23 head into their upcoming clash against Tajikistan full of confidence after a commanding 5-0 win over Bhutan U-23 at home, a performance that underlined the side’s attacking dominance. From Rickey Meetei’s stunning opener to Suhail Bhat’s brace, the Blue Colts were relentless throughout, before birthday boy Ajsal capped off the evening with the fifth goal.
It was a complete team display under head coach Naushad Moosa, who will now expect his side to carry the same momentum into what promises to be a far sterner test.
While Bhutan were comfortably brushed aside, Tajikistan are expected to pose a much bigger challenge. However, India will still go into the match as favorites given their current form and the quality within the squad. The creativity of Ebindas, the attacking threat offered by Suhail Bhat, Thoi Singh, along with the defensive solidity provided by Pramveer, have been key to the team’s recent success. Under Moosa, the side has shown excellent structure, fluid movement and control in possession.
With several promising youngsters gaining experience in the ISL, the Blue Colts could hold an extra edge heading into this contest and are likely to dominate possession while creating plenty of chances.
Meanwhile, Tajikistan U-23 also come into the fixture in strong form after their win over Bhutan. The Central Asian side are a far more disciplined and physical outfit than the Red Dragons, often relying on direct football and a solid defensive structure.
They are particularly dangerous from set-pieces and will look to exploit counterattacking opportunities as the game progresses. Their organised approach and physical presence could trouble India, making this an exciting contest between two confident sides looking to make a statement in the tournament.
