India national football teamFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The India national football team is governed by theAll India Football Federation (AIFF). Since 1948, theAIFF has been affiliated with FIFA, the internationalgoverning body for football. In 1954, the AIFF becameone of the founding members of the Asian FootballConfederation (AFC). At the peak of its success duringthe 1950s and 1960s, the team was automaticallyadvanced to play in the 1950 FIFA World Cup (all theother Asian teams withdrew), but they did not go to thetournament in Brazil due to the cost of travel, lack ofpractice time, team selection issues and valuing the
Olympics over the FIFA World Cup.[2] They won goldmedals at two Asian Games and one silver at the AsianCup.

History
Main article: History of the India national football
team
Indian teams started touring Australia, Japan,Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand in late 1930s. Soonafter the success of several Indian football clubs, theAll India Football Federation (AIFF) was formed in1937. The 1948 London Olympics was India's firstmajor international tournament, where a predominatelybarefooted Indian team lost 21 to France, failing toconvert two penalties. The Indian team was greetedand appreciated by the crowd for their sporting
manner.[3]
India qualified by default for the 1950 FIFA World Cupas a result of the withdrawal of all of their scheduledopponents. But the governing body, the AIFF, decidedagainst going to the World Cup, being unable tounderstand the importance of the event at that time. Reason shown by AIFF was that there was thecost of travel (although FIFA agreed to bear a major part of the travel expenses), lack of practice
time, team selection issues and valuing the Olympics over the FIFA World Cup.[2]
The period from 1951 to 1962 is considered the golden era in Indian football. Under the tutelage of
legendary Syed Abdul Rahim[4] India became the best team in Asia. The Indian team started the
1950s with their triumph in the 1951 Asian Games which they hosted[5] Later next year they went onto participate in the 1952 Olympics, but lost 101 to Yugoslavia. Like before four years earlier, many
of the team played without boots.[6] After the result the AIFF immediately made it mandatory to wear
boots.[7] India then went on to finish second in the 1954 Asian Games held in Manila.[8] At the 1956Olympic Games they finished fourth, which is regarded as one of finest achievements in Indianfootball. India first met hosts Australia, winning 42 with Neville D'Souza becoming the first Asian toscore a hat trick in the Olympics and also making India the first Asian team to reach the Olympic
semi-finals. They lost 41 to Yugoslavia, and lost the third place play-off match 30 to Bulgaria.[9]
Then in 1962 India went on to win the 1962 Asian Games where they beat South Korea 21 in the
final.[10]
Then in 1964 India played in its most memorable tournament yet. The 1964 AFC Asian Cup wherethey finished as runners-up thanks to then-current manager Harry Wright. India won their first matchagainst South Korea 20, then lost 20 to the hosts Israel then won 31 against Hong Kong which
gave India second in the tournament.[11]
After the Asian Cup India went downhill. Failure in a many qualification tournaments meant that the
next time India reached a quarter-final stage was as host in the 1982 Asian Games.[12] Then all of a
sudden India managed to qualify for the 1984 AFC Asian Cup after twenty years out of the cup.[13]
But India during the competition failed to make any impact.[14] India would then fail to make the

Nehru Stadium in Delhi
Asian Cup for another 27 years.
Although India failed to qualify for the 2004 Asian Cup, the senior team did well by showing off asilver-medal winning performance in the inaugural Afro Asian Games, with victories over Rwandaand Zimbabwe (then 85 places ahead of India in the world rankings) along the way, losing the final
by just 10 to Uzbekistan.[15]
As a result, Indian football has steadily earned greater recognition and respect, both within thecountry and abroad. The LG Cup win in Vietnam under Stephen Constantine was one of the fewbright spots in early part of 2000s. It was India's first victory in a football tournament outside thesubcontinent after 1974. In November 2003, then India coach Stephen Constantine was named AFC
Manager of the Month.[15]
In 2006 Bob Houghton was later appointed coach of team. His appointment saw a general progressin Indias performances crowned by victory in 2007 Nehru Cup in August 2007. Houghton then ledIndia to the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup title as they beat Tajikistan 41 in August 2008. Winning theAFC Challenge Cup qualified India for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup for the first time since 1984. He alsooversaw the Indian team to its second consecutive Nehru Cup trophy by winning 2009 Nehru
Cup.[16]
In 2011, India started off their campaign by participating in 2011 AFC Asian Cup for which they
qualified after 27 years. India lost all three matches but did manage to perform well in patches.[17]
In 2012, India won the 15th edition of Nehru cup by beating Cameroon 5-4 in penalties as the
full-time score was tied at 2-2, making it the third successive Nehru cup win for India.[18]
Home stadium
The Indian Football Team does not have a permanent stadium asof 2011 due to so many football stadiums not meeting FIFAguidelines. The only stadiums that are FIFA and AFC approvedare the Ambedkar Stadium in New Delhi, Jawaharlal NehruStadium also in New Delhi, Nehru Stadium in Chennai, BalewadiSports Complex in Pune, and most recently approved after arenovation the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata and BangaloreFootball Stadium in Bangalore.
Kit
India traditionally wear a blue strip. As of 2005, Nike, Inc. is currently the official kit provider to theIndian national football team. In 2013 All India Football Federation (AIFF) signed a deal with theIndian multinational oil and gas company ONGC to sponsor the national team.
