Indian Football
The India national football team represents India in international football and it is controlled by the All India Football Federation. Under the coaching of Syed Abdul Rahim, India won gold during the 1951 and 1962 Asian Games. Once India considered one of the best teams in Asia, had its golden era during the 1950s and early 1960s. Recently Stephen Constantine was a head coach,after finishing bottom of the table of AFC Asian Cup 2019 coach has decided to live the Indian football team.
India has never participated in the FIFA World Cup, although the team did qualify by default for the 1950 World Cup after all other nations in their qualification group withdrew. However, India withdrew prior to the beginning of the tournament. The team has also appeared four times in the Asia's top football competition, the AFC Asian Cup. Their best result in the competition occurred in 1964 when the team finished as runners-up. India also participate in the SAFF Championship, the top regional football competition in South Asia. They have won the tournament seven times since it began in 1993.
Despite India not achieving the same results as their golden era, the team has seen a steady resurgence since the beginning of the 21st century. Besides the SAFF Championship triumphs, under the guidance of Bob Houghton, India won the restarted Nehru Cup in 2007 and 2009 while also managing to emerge victorious during the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup. The Challenge Cup victory allowed India to once again qualify for the Asian Cup for the first time in 27 years. The national team's all-time top goalscorer is Sunil Chhetri, with 67 goals. Chhetri is also India's most-capped player, with 105 international appearances. India regained the momentum with some friendlies against China, Jordan and Oman as they began the 2019 AFC Asian Cup with a 4–1 victory against Thailand and is the biggest ever Asia cup win for the team and its first one in 55 years.[60][61] Nevertheless, they lost both of their next two group matches against UAE and Bahrain by 0−2 and 0−1 respectively[62][63] and finished at the bottom of the group, thus failed to move to knock out stage.
Indian football is now developing because the players are getting trained under high profile European coaches and getting quality time in grounds, playing against European team's.
