I think we should remove all the matches the U17/U16 team plays against club sides from the fixtures/results section in Wikipedia. My reasoning behind this is, while they play the club sides, they are not the U17/U16 team as such, but double up as the AIFF Academy, and that technically is not the India U17/U16 side.
I know I have raised this issue before, but now I have a relevant reason!
Club games shouldn't be on there, period, unless they are part of an official competition or they are listed as the AIFF U17/16 side by the AIFF. The AIFF makes that distinction.
It should be what the AIFF match report says it is. If the AIFF say "India U-17 team" or "India World Cup team" etc. then add it, if it is just AIFF India, don't add it.
But what if the report from other organisations say AIFF India? For example, in the Atletico Paranaense youth tournament, the reports from the Brazilian side referred to us as AIFF India, which is what AIFF told them I suppose.
Between 1998 and 2001, India played only three times in Bangalore. Against UAE, Yemen and Brunei. There was a Draw match against Yemen 1-1.Bhutia was the scorer. In other match against UAE, Jules Alberto Dias scored and in this pic, khalid is congratulating him.

Let me know what you guys think.
So should we not exclude those results from the wiki page for the national India U17 team?
his profile doesn't show that

I do not recall any Qatar match.
