The Indian men’s football team will face Panama in an international friendly at Bengaluru’s Sree Kanteerava Stadium on September 26, 2026. The match will mark India’s return to Bengaluru after the 2023 SAFF Championship, when the Blue Tigers won the title at the same venue. Panama, ranked 44th in the world and a participant in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, will provide India with a strong test during the FIFA international window. The fixture is particularly important as it comes one week before India’s high-profile clash against five-time world champions Brazil in Kolkata on October 3. (PC: X)
