The Indian Football team needs to win this game to ensure they have a chance to win the U-18 SAFF Championships 2017.

After an unfortunate start, the India U-18 team bounced back with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over hosts Bhutan in their previous SAFF U-18 Championship encounter. India would now surely look to keep the momentum going as they gear up to face Maldives on Monday (September 25) at the Changlimithang Stadium in Thimphu, Bhutan.

The game starts at 3:30 PM IST. Watch it LIVE by clicking on 'Join Khel Now Live'.
