Actually in the case of Diego Costa, there has been murmurings in the past that he is an age cheat.
I will state my question again: Will the AIFF be stupid enough to allow 24 year olds into this team when it can be more easily found their age which can lead to a FIFA ban after disqualification?
I am fairly certain FIFA conduct age testing prior to major FIFA events in age tournaments.
Why will any country FA encourage age cheating? At the end of the day, it is Senior Team results which matter. Age Group results are not any Financially lucrative. Clubs look for fitness, 17 or 34 it hardly matters for them.
Guys I have nothing against the team but let me be frank I have had so many people & sources telling me that there many age cheats across India youth national teams. It is rampant right from school level to nationals.
