AIFF advances India-Panama friendly match in Bengaluru

The All India Football Federation has preponed the India versus Panama football match in Bengaluru, moving it forward from its originally scheduled date of September 26. The rescheduling comes as part of adjustments to India's international friendly calendar. The match forms part of a broader three-match friendly series for the Indian national team against South American opposition, which also includes encounters against Brazil and Uruguay. The reasons for the date change have prompted the AIFF to revise its fixture schedule to accommodate various logistical and operational requirements. The Bengaluru venue has been confirmed as the host city for the rescheduled Panama fixture. The friendly series represents an important preparation phase for the Indian football team, offering competitive match experience against higher-ranked international sides. Further details regarding the new match date and ticketing arrangements are expected to be announced by the federation in due course.
