After their clash against Panama, the India team are scheduled to take on five-time World Cup winners Brazil and two-time champions Uruguay next in the FIFA international friendly window next week.
Panama had failed to win a single match in the FIFA World Cup 2026 edition, losing hard-fought matches to Ghana, Croatia and Harry Kane’s England. India, on the other hand, are ranked 138th in the current FIFA rankings.
“I think tomorrow can be a start. I think we can use tomorrow’s game to see what it takes for a World Cup team to operate and Panama, obviously, played in the World Cup, and played really good in my opinion,” Indian captain Gurpreet Singh Sandhu said on the eve of the match.
“The results didn’t go in their favour. I think they played really good football. We want to do the same and to be a team which is difficult to play and also have great options, be it on the pitch, or in terms of people coming in from the bench,” Sandhu added.
Panama have included 14 players from their FIFA World Cup 2026 squad and 22 members out of 24 have experience of playing in Major Soccer League in the USA and in Turkey, Mexico and Austria. Amir Murillo of Besiktas, Andres Andrade of LASK, Tomás Rodríguez of Barcelona SC Guayaquil and Jose Cordoba of Norwich City are some of their frontline players.
