The Indian men’s football team will face Kuwait in the final of the SAFF Championship 2023 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Tuesday.

The India vs Kuwait SAFF Championship 2023 final will be live streamed. Defending champions India, who beat Nepal 2-0 in the summit clash of the last edition in 2021, are chasing their ninth SAFF Championship title. Sunil Chhetri and Co. will also be looking to win back-to-back trophies after clinching the Intercontinental Cup last month.

India, who rose one place to 100th in the latest FIFA rankings, will face the Kuwait football team, ranked 141st, for the second time in the SAFF Championship 2023. Igor Stimac’s men played out a 1-1 draw against Kuwait in the group stage.

In the other group matches, India defeated Pakistan 4-0 in their opening game before beating Nepal 2-0 to finish second in Group A behind Kuwait. The Gulf nation, like Lebanon, were invited to play this regional tournament for the first time.

India will count on captain Sunil Chhetri to deliver in the final. The 38-year-old is in good form having netted five goals in four matches, including a hat-trick against arch-rivals Pakistan. Defender Sandesh Jinghan, who missed India’s semi-final clash with Lebanon due to a suspension, will return to the team to bolster India’s defence ahead of the SAFF final.

Kuwait, meanwhile, reached the final following a 1-0 extra-time win over Bangladesh. The Rui Bento-coached side are also undefeated in the tournament. En route to the final, Kuwait defeated Nepal 3-1 in their opening game before beating Pakistan 4-0 and drawing their final game against India. For Kuwait, Mobarak Al-Faneeni is the top goal scorer with two goals in four matches.
