In the opening match of the FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers, India secured a 1-0 victory against Kuwait. Manvir Singh's goal proved decisive, marking a winning start to India's qualification campaign. Despite playing away from home, India received significant support from its expatriate community in Kuwait. The match lacked intensity, with Kuwait controlling large parts but failing to threaten India's goal. The win, achieved without key players due to injuries, positions India well in the group. Their next challenge awaits at home against reigning Asian Champions Qatar, promising another exciting clash in Bhubaneswar.
