The All India Football Federation: Following the successful hosting of the FIFA U-17 women's World Cup last year, Odisha's Kalinga Stadium along with Guwahati will host India's first two qualifying matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be jointly hosted by the US, Mexico and Canada.

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has officially announced in a communication to the Football Association of Odisha that the state will host the much-anticipated India -Qatar match, a critical fixture in the WC qualifiers as well as for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, at the iconic Kalinga Stadium on November 21.
