History beckons for Indian football. A win against South Korea in their quarter-final of AFC U-17 Championship on Monday will not only book a last-four spot in the tournament but also qualify for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru.
India have played at a FIFA World Cup, as a host, which is different from qualifying. If the colts manage to pull off a win against the heavyweights at Kuala Lumpur tomorrow, it will be a red-letter day for India.
India qualified for the quarter-finals by virtue of finishing second from Group C while South Korea who scored 12 goals without conceding any topped Group D.
