IND vs. KUW FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers Match: The Blue Tigers Aim to Win in Sunil Chhetri's Final Match

Sunil Chhetri, the captain of the Indian football team, will officially retire from the game on Thursday during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers match against Kuwait.

There is an enormous crowd at Kolkata's Salt Lake Stadium, ready to see Chhetri's wizardry on the field in blue hues for the very last time.

India has won one and drawn their last four games to take second place in Group A. With four victories from their last four games, Qatar sits atop the group. Kuwait, India's rival, is bottom with just three points.

The game against Kuwait is very important because it will give India a commanding lead in the group and help us say goodbye to our hero, Sunil Chhetri, for his well-earned success.

India has won three of the six previous games between it and Kuwait. Two matches were won by Kuwait, while one resulted in a tie.
