We really need to send an U23 squad to the SAFF Cup every edition. We could have then kept the two friendlies with Malaysia and Phillipines which would help in rankings. There are enough players caught between our U19 squad and national team to field a squad that may be better than the current national team Wim has been throwing out.
Agree with nnipp1. We can easily have a secondary team. Need not really call it an U23 team. We can get FIFA points for both friendlies and SAFF unless the matches are on same day.

<br><br><br><br>no need to be so much overconfident. We lost badly in 2012 AFC challenge Cup and 2013 AFC Challenge Cup qualification against Myanmar. Unless we regularly play against better teams in AFC level, we should take SAFF seriously. Otherwise we will only have Nehru Cup to play, nothing else.<br><br>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAFF_Cup<br><br>Our senior team lost to Maldives in 2008. we also lost in 2003 SAAF cup.<br>
Juan Marpcos Troia has been appointed Afghanistan temporary coach only for SAFF championship matches. Troia is an Argentinian coach who has previously coached Afghanistan beach soccer team in WCQ in Doha a couple of months ago.
