Indian football's biggest name, Sunil Chhetri, will bid goodbye to the national team when the Indian football team takes on Kuwait in their fifth Fifa World Cup 2026 and AFC Asian Cup 2027 joint qualification tournament on June 6, 2024. The match, which will be held at the iconic Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata, will mark the end of Chhetri's 19-year career at the international level for the Blue Tigers.

Since it is going to be a high-octane encounter, with a win or draw here clearing the path for India's entry into the third round of the joint qualification tournament and giving them direct entry into the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, the demand for tickets is high. Even with a seating capacity of nearly 85,000, it is getting difficult for people to get hold of their tickets.

Why is the Sunil Chhetri Farewell Game so Important?

Apart from it being the farewell game of the third-highest active goal scorer in world football behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, it is an important game for India's road to AFC Asian Cup and Fifa World Cup 2026.

India is currently ranked second in Group A of Round 2 behind Qatar. They have four points, as does Afghanistan. Kuwait, on the other hand, has three points. India won against Kuwait away from home and then lost to Qatar at home.

However, the most painful for the Indian side were two matches against Afghanistan. While they drew in Saudi Arabia in an away fixture, the Blue Tigers were beaten at home in Guwahati, which jolted their campaign.

Therefore, only a win against Kuwait can now save them and take them to Round 3.
