Football Indian team to play with Nepal

New Delhi, May 19: As we knew that, India Football team had jumped 73 places in the FIFA Rankings since March 2015.They gained this achievement in 21 years.

Here is the news that, All India Football Federation (AIFF) announced that India will be playing Nepal in an international friendly at the Andheri Sports Complex in Mumbai on June 6, here on Thursday.

However, Nepal comes in as a replacement for Lebanon, which had pulled out of a friendly at the last moment citing visa issues.

India chief coach Stephen Constantine said that "With Lebanon pulling out at the 11th hour, our preparations had suffered a jolt. It was disappointing but at the same time, the situation was beyond our control. It was just so hard to find a replacement as all other Teams had already finalized their schedule. But thanks to my colleagues in the AIFF, we managed to rope in a team at such a short notice and that's highly commendable"
