India U17 men to play two friendlies against Myanmar in Thanlyin

New Delhi, Sep 27 (UNI) The India U17 men’s team will play two international friendly matches against Myanmar at the StarCity Sports Club in Thanlyin, Myanmar, on October 4 and 7, as part of their preparations for the AFC U17 Asian Cup Uzbekistan 2027 Qualifiers.
The two matches will be the Blue Colts’ first international friendlies since beginning their preparatory camp under head coach Mehrajuddin Wadoo in Margao earlier this month.
India have been drawn in Group E of the AFC U17 Asian Cup Uzbekistan 2027 Qualifiers, which will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from November 11 to 20. The Blue Colts will face hosts Malaysia, Palestine, Singapore and Guam.
Myanmar, who qualified for the AFC U17 Asian Cup 2026, will provide India with relevant preparation ahead of the 2027 Qualifiers. India also played two friendly matches against
Myanmar in Yangon in March 2026. The Blue Colts won the first match 2-1 before the second
ended in a goalless draw.
Head coach Mehrajuddin Wadoo said, “These matches will be an important part of our preparation for the qualifiers. Myanmar are a good opponent at this age group, and like India, they also qualified for the AFC U17 Asian Cup this year. Playing two international matches away from home will give us a good opportunity to assess the players and work on different aspects of our game before November.”
