Singapore

Nepal-born defender Abneet Bharti has also been called up to the senior men's Indian national football team camp in Bengaluru.

Singapore have named their 26-man squad for their Asian Cup qualifying decider against Hong Kong on Nov. 18.

The Indian men's football team haven't won a competitive qualifying fixture since November 2023.

Acknowleding they were compromising on some "non-negotiables" was key to Singapore's comeback win over India.

After 43 excellent minutes, familiar failings hit home again as India failed to qualify for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.

Five days after throwing away victory against India, it was Singapore's turn to find a way to get an unlikely but crucial result.

A dominant first-half and a Chhangte golazo went in vain as India fell to a 1-2 defeat at the Fatorda.

With India head coach Khalid Jamil looking to go on "attack mode", India vs Singapore in Goa has all the potential to be an absolute cracker.

The important thing is that qualification for the Asian Cup is no more in India's hands. They will have to hope for a few other results to go their way.

The style of play that Jamil employed in the CAFA Nations Cup, in which India earned a third place thanks to 'Khalidball', displayed its frailties against Singapore.
