The Indian U-16 football team will be full of confidence heading into the match against USA U16 team thanks to their exploits from the previous tournaments. The Indian U16 team is currently playing a number of friendly matches as the AIFF plans to get the young boys some exposure ahead of their AFC U-16 Championship, later this year.
The matches India U16 team plays at the Sport Chain Cup will certainly aid in the preparation of the AFC U16 Championship which is scheduled to be held later this year in Malaysia. The matches will ensure that the young lads are ready for the bigger tournament.
The U16 boys have been in Spain for quite some time now. They also managed to pull off a highly improbable goalless draw against Valencia U16 side on April 11. The Indian defenders have been solid and have ensured that the opposition does not get sufficient opportunities.
Some intelligent keeping by Jongte has also helped in ensuring the team does not concede. India will be looking to continue the strong run they have had as they get set to battle it out against the USA U16 side.
Coached by Bibiano Fernandes, the India U16 side has pulled off some great results on foreign soil, including victories in the Jockey Cup in Hong Kong. In fact, India ran riot against opponents like Hong Kong and Singapore in the tournament. Now, however, they are set to face off against quality opposition USA U16 and Norway U16.
