Sunil Chhetri will retire after India vs Kuwait's FIFA World Cup qualifier match.
India will take on Kuwait in the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier on June 6.
Excitement is brewing in Kolkata as India prepares to face Kuwait in a nail-biting FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier on Thursday, June 6. This match holds immense significance for Indian football fans, as it will be the farewell game for their legendary striker and captain, Sunil Chhetri. Chhetri himself announced his retirement, stating, “It's not that I was feeling tired, not that I was feeling this or that. When the instinct came that this should be my last game, I thought about it a lot (and) eventually I came to this decision.”
However, the emotional weight of the occasion doesn't diminish the importance of the match itself. A win against Kuwait is crucial for India's qualification hopes. Currently, the team sits in a challenging position after facing two defeats and a draw in their previous matches. Only the top two teams out of the six will progress to the third round of qualifiers. With this knowledge, expect a fierce and determined Indian team taking the field on Thursday.
Indian football legend Sunil Chhetri's illustrious career is set to culminate on June 6. The 39-year-old striker will bid farewell to international football in a highly anticipated FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier against Kuwait. Chhetri's journey began in June 2005 against Pakistan, and over the years, he has become a national icon. Reports suggest a massive crowd exceeding 60,000 is expected to witness this emotional farewell match at the Salt Lake Stadium.
While the occasion is undoubtedly poignant, the stakes remain high for the Indian team. Currently, they sit in second place with 4 points after four matches. However, qualification for the third round of qualifiers hinges on securing victories in both their remaining matches, including this one against Kuwait.
