So no Saudi u23 team 8n SAFF Cup? Thats a shame! And why are we playing Lebanon again and again? At this rate I suspect Lebanon will be in our Asian Cup group as well! 😂 And why is Srilanka not participating?

why Shame? Win/Draw against Saudi u23 will not make any difference for FIFA ranks & points. We should feel happy Lebanon agreed to play in both SAAF Cup & InterContinental cup as they are a quality side. Kuwait is also better N.T than us.
For SAFF Cup, seems like federation has sent invites to Saudi, Malaysia, Kuwait & Tajikistan/Turkmenistan. Maybe Lebanon is last minute addition, and it is also more feasible option as Lebanon participating in Intercontinental cup. Also in SAFF cup, Lebanon & India are not in same group. We will surely face them only if both teams qualify for final.
For the first time SAFF under the leadership of AIFF decided to look beyond and invite better teams..this can be big change for our region..Lebanon and Kuwait are even better than Afghanistan.

i had to google Kokrajhar as I'm seeing it for time. North Eastern states are getting more matches which is a good idea to have more crowds rather than Delhi.
Hearing that the draw for World Cup qualifiers will be held in July using July 20 rankings. Intercontinental Cup and SAFF Championship are important in our quest to jump into Pot 2. Lebanon (18th) is not that far away. They are just 2 points above us. We currently are not facing any threat from below us.
Finishing 2nd in the group will give us direct qualification to Asian Cup and will also take us to WC Qual third round, where we'll get to play some top teams.

And why is Srilanka not participating?
so basically a community sub group of sikhs. if they get fans in large numbers then ok. for rest of us , the name is odd and doesn't connect.
