"Hope It Comes Soon For Us," Says Sunil Chhetri On India Reaching FIFA World Cup

Indian football skipper Sunil Chhetri anticipated the day when the 'Blue Tigers' will take part in the FIFA World Cup and expressed hope that this moment will arrive soon. In an interview with FIFA, Chhetri said that the country would go mad when India qualifies for the FIFA World Cup. "The day that happens, the country will go mad. As an Indian, it's going to be one of the best days of my life. There are so many people like me who can't wait to see that day, and I just hope it comes soon for us," Chhetri said as quoted by ISL's official website. He further added that it will be humongous when the 'Blue Tigers' achieve the feat. Chhetri also said that he will never forget that moment in his life.

Sunil Chhetri Admits He's In 'Bonus Period' But Yet To Decide On Retirement

By his own admission, Indian football talisman Sunil Chhetri is in the "bonus period" of his illustrious career but he has not set any retirement date. One thing is, however, certain that the 39-year-old Chhetri will not be playing in 2026 when the football World Cup happens. "I'm just happy that I'm here. This is the bonus period, I'm just enjoying it, I don't know when it's going to end. I just want to enjoy it," Chhetri said ahead of India's 2026 World Cup second round qualifiers matches later this month. "Because I'm 39, I don't have long-term targets as far as me being on the pitch is concerned. I think about the next three months, and then the next three months, and then we see how it goes," he was quoted as saying by fifa.com.

Unlucky India Lose 2-4 To Malaysia, Bow Out Of Merdeka Cup

India lost 2-4 to hosts Malaysia in the opening match, a virtual semifinal to bow out of the Merdeka Cup in Kuala Lumpur on Friday. Malaysia took the lead as early as in the seventh minute through Dion Cools before Naorem Mahesh Singh equalised for India with a beautiful volley in the 13 minute. A silly challenge from Nikhil Poojary on Arif Amin inside the Indian box gifted Malaysia a penalty and Amin made no mistake in finding the net from the spot in the 20th minute. To make matters worse for India, Faisal Halim increased the score-line 3-1 in Malaysia's favour four minutes from half time.

Men's Football: India Lose 0-2 vs Saudi Arabia, Crash Out Of Asian Games 2023

A formidable Saudi Arabia didn't bring their 'A' game to the fore yet were strong enough to ward off a gutsy challenge from India winning their pre-quarterfinal match 2-0 in the men's football competition in Hangzhou on Thursday. There was no doubt about Saudi Arabia's supremacy as forward Mohammed Khalil Marran's opportunistic twin strikes in the 51st and 57th minute ended Sunil Chhetri-led India's campaign at the continental event. However, Igor Stimac's players can hold their heads high with the kind of performance that they put in despite so much uncertainty and with AIFF sending a second string side due to the obstinate attitude from the Indian Super League (ISL) organisers who refused to release top players.

"It Has Been Difficult": Sunil Chhetri's Honest Take On India's Asian Games 2023 Journey

Captain Sunil Chhetri played every minute of India's three Asian Games matches so far, scoring two of the team's three goals to lead the country to the round of 16 but having become a father recently, he is also missing his son. The 39-year-old Chhetri and his wife Sonam were last month blessed with a baby boy but he had to leave them behind and attend to national duty. "There is an age difference with other boys. Some of them are really young, we give them space. I and Sandesh are a bit aloof from them. We have young kids at home. I am missing my son and he (Jhingan) is desperately missing his daughter," Chhetri said when asked how he spends time with the team members.

Asian Games 2023: India Play Out 1-1 Draw With Myanmar, Enter Round Of 16 In Men's Football

Riding on a Sunil Chhetri strike, the Indian men's football team held Myanmar to a 1-1 draw and progressed to the round of 16 in the Asian Games on Sunday. They will play Saudi Arabia in the pre-quarters. Chhetri scored from the spot in the 23rd minute but it was Rahim Ali who earned the penalty when he was brought down inside the box by Hein Zeyar Lin. While Lin was shown a yellow card for his sliding tackle, the peerless Chhetri made no mistake in finding the back of the net, in what was a repeat of the act he performed against Bangladesh in the second group game two days ago.
