    Harbouring U17 World Cup Qualification Dreams, India Brace For Uzbekistan Challenge

    By IANS News May 09, 2026 • 22:38 PM View: 66
    King Abdullah Sports City Hall: Just one match remains. One game for the India U17 men’s team to fulfil their dream of being the first from the land to qualify for a World Cup.

    The equation is simple – defeat Uzbekistan at the King Abdullah Sports City Hall Stadium on Sunday, May 10, and India could progress, should Uzbekistan drop points against Australia. A draw could also be enough, if Australia defeat Uzbekistan by a margin of more than four goals.

    For India U17 men’s national team head coach Bibiano Fernandes, it has always been a dream to see India play on merit at a World Cup. He was, in fact, one step away from such a dream back in 2018, when the Blue Colts made it all the way to the quarter-finals of the AFC U16 Championship in Malaysia; they were one victory away from World Cup qualification.
