India may not have qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2026, but the country will still have a connection to football's biggest stage through four players of Indian origin. New Zealand's Sarpreet Singh, Qatar's Tahsin Mohammed Jamshid, DR Congo's Samuel Moutoussamy and Australia's Nishan Velupillay are all part of their respective national squads for the tournament. Their presence highlights the growing influence of the Indian diaspora in global football. While Indian fans continue to wait for the national team's World Cup debut, the quartet offers a reason to celebrate and follow the competition with added interest.
