New Zealand and India men's football friendly series

Overview

New Zealand head coach Darren Bazeley announced the All Whites squad for a two-match series against India to be held in Auckland and Christchurch. The roster includes seven Wellington Phoenix players and features the return of Matt Garbett. This series serves as the final matches for Bazeley, whose contract has expired.

In response, Indian head coach Khalid Jamil named a 23-player squad for the international friendlies. The squad includes Bijoy Varghese, Muhammad Suhail, and Liston Colaco, who joined after the SAFF Championship, while Farukh Choudhary, Noufal P. N., and Hmingthanmawia Ralte were released from the SAFF squad to return to Mumbai City FC. Ronney Kharbudon is unavailable due to injury.

The Indian team, often referred to as the Blue Tigers, assembled in Bengaluru for training before traveling to New Zealand. Following their arrival in Auckland, the team began preparations at North Harbour Stadium. Jamil noted that facing a World Cup-playing nation like New Zealand provides a significant test for the team's discipline and improvement.
