The Blue Colts are preparing for the upcoing AFC U-19 Championship Qualifiers.

Gearing up for the AFC U-19 Championship Qualifiers later this year, the Indian U-19 National Team will be participating in the OFC Youth Development Tournament and clashing swords against Vanuatu U-19 and New Caledonia U-19 later this month.

Prior to their encounters against Vanuatu on August 18, 2019 and New Caledonia on August 21, the Indian Colts had played two matches against Oman U-19 and one match each against Jordan U-19 and Kocaelispor U-19 in their exposure tour to Turkey in July.

Speaking on the next challenge, Head Coach Floyd Pinto said, “2 exposure tours have given us the opportunity to look at all the players in the camp. We now have a clear idea about the players we need moving forward into the SAFF & AFC tournaments.”

“The tour to Vanuatu will give us a good test and aid our preparation for the upcoming SAFF U-18 championship," he added.
