India’s In World Cup: When Will India Play In FIFA World Cup?
In a conversation with Curly Tales Middle East Editor Kamiya Jani, Sunil Chhetri said, “When I am not sure, but I’d like everyone in the country to see us as soon as possible. One thing I know is that we will be there. When I don’t know, we are making the movement in the right direction. It is going to take some time. It’s not easy. Just to give you a small idea, we have to be in the 1st 10 of Asia and stay there. The top 5 countries play the World Cup right now, it will change to eight soon. So, that gives a realistic chance. So, once we’re in the top 10, the whole country will know when we’re going to play.”

So, I’m really excited to watch them and I just hope they have a wonderful world cup.”
