Indian Football Team To Go All Out Against Kyrgyz Republic In Tri-Nation Title Decider

A draw against Kyrgyz Republic is enough for India to win the Tri-Nation International Football tournament on Tuesday but head coach Igor Simac said the hosts will go all out for a win.

Stimac also informed that Sahal Abdul Samad has joined the national team camp ahead of Tuesday's game.
