After two exciting semi-finals, we will be witnessing the grand finale of the SAFF Championship 2023. Two of the most deserving teams in the form of India and Kuwait have made it to the finals that will be played at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru.
Sunil Chhetri and co. booked their place in the finals after their hard-fought victory against Lebanon on 1st July 2023. The Blue Tigers had been dealt with a blow ahead of the game as the likes of Sandesh Jhingan and Rahim Ali missed out on the game as they had received red cards in the SAFF Championship 2023.
Team India also didn’t have their Head Coach in the sidelines as Igor Stimac has already gotten two red cards in the tournament. He will also not be present in the sidelines during India’s game versus Kuwait in the finals.
When the two teams met earlier in the SAFF Championship 2023, there was a 1-1 stalemate. Sunil Chhetri had scored the goal for India and the Blue Tigers conceded an own goal which resulted in Kuwait having a goal next to their names in the goal-scoring sheet.
Both the two teams are quite potent and formidable and need no introduction when it comes to their skills and expertise. Their brand of football is close to impeccable and the entire crowd at the football-loving city of Bengaluru will be treated to some high-octane action.
