World Cup Qualifiers: Stimac Expects Salt Lake Stadium To Be Packed For Chhetri's Farewell Match Against Kuwait
FIFA World Cup Qualifiers: Indian football team head coach Igor Stimac expects the cheerful home supporters to turn up in large numbers for the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers match against Kuwait at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata as it will be the final game for legendary striker Sunil Chhetri.
India will face Kuwait in a must-win encounter to progress to third-round and Chhetri's retirement makes it more exciting for the home supporters.
"Having in mind the importance of the game -- with us being perhaps only a win away from qualifying for the third round for the first time, and it being Sunil Chhetri's farewell game -- we expect the Salt Lake Stadium to be packed. I am sure that our supporters will reach Kolkata from all parts of India to help our boys win the game and say thanks and goodbye to Sunil. I am very confident it’s going to be emotional and hopefully, we will find a way to celebrate together after the final whistle," AIFF's official website quoted Stimac as saying.
