India seek eighth SAFF C’ship title

The final will be the 12th for India in 13 editions which shows the domination of the Blue Tigers in this regional tournament

Having endured a topsy-turvy beginning to their campaign before a fine turnaround, seven-time champions India will start title favourites when they take on first-time finalists Nepal in the summit clash of the SAFF Championship here on Saturday.

The final will be the 12th for India in 13 editions which shows the domination of the Blue Tigers in this regional tournament. The third-place finish in 2003 was the worst performance for them. A win against Nepal will also be head coach Igor Stimac’s first trophy after taking charge of the Indian team in 2019.
