Five from Hyderabad to represent India at prestigious international tournament

Hyderabad, July 1 (UNI) The Football 7 Association India (F7AI) on Tuesday announced the selection of five outstanding individuals from Hyderabad to represent India at the prestigious Coupe Intercontinentale Football7 – France 2025, an international 7-a-side football tournament scheduled from July 3 to 7, at Stade des Bords de Marne, Noisy Le Grand, France.
Following the All-India selection trials held in Mumbai, the selected players and coach from Hyderabad are Zubair Bin Sultan – Centre Forward, Mazher Ali – Stopper Back, Viven Walter – Midfielder, Mir Zubair Ali – Stopper.
These five are among a total of 15 individuals selected nationwide to represent India at this elite event.
Hyderabad-based Sports Village CEO and multisport promoter Mohammad Shamsuddin will be the main sponsor for these five Indian players, supporting their journey to the global stage.
This remarkable achievement is a testament to the players’ exceptional talent, discipline, and dedication, marking a proud moment for Indian football and a significant milestone in the growth of the 7-a-side format in the country.
The Coupe Intercontinentale Foot7 is organized by Yuvha Games, in collaboration with the Asian Football 7 League (AF7L) and the Global Association Football 7 (GAF7).
The tournament brings together top teams from countries including Russia, Nepal, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.
India continues to emerge as a frontrunner in promoting and developing 7-a-side football in Asia.
In April 2023, the Asia 7’s Football7 Senior League was launched in Manila, Philippines, where India secured a runner-up finish, with Japan taking the title.
India also became the first Asian country to participate in the GAF7 World Cup, highlighting its rising stature on the global stage.
