Tribhuvan international airport

The India U20s: A focused India U20 Men’s National Team on Friday landed in Nepal, on the eve of their SAFF U20 Championship campaign. The India U20s were well received at the Tribhuvan International Airport by representatives from the All Nepal Football Association, who presented every member of the squad with the traditional ‘khada’ scarf of Nepal.

India have been training in Goa for two months before the SAFF U20 campaign, and head coach Ranjan Chaudhuri feels that the team has now well and truly entered tournament mode.

“We have come to Nepal with a positive mindset. Of course, there have been ups and downs during the preparatory phase, but the team is in tournament mode now,” said Chaudhuri to the AIFF media team.
