Under-17 World Cup: India to play Mauritius next week

The India Colts are set to face the Island nation in Goa as part of their preparations for the World Cup…

Luis Norton de Matos’ Under-17 side will finally get a chance to test themselves ahead of the Under-17 World Cup next month.

The Indian team, who are currently training in Goa until the 24th of this month before moving to Delhi, are to play an international friendly against Mauritius next Wednesday.

Although the All Football Federation (AIFF) invited the likes of Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia to play a game in Bangalore and Goa, the said teams rejected the offer to play India at the last minute.

India are grouped alongside USA, and in Group A of the Under-17 World Cup.
