India U-16s to play Cameroon instead of Turkey tomorrow, August 22!

The India U-16 National Team currently on a week-long exposure tour in Istanbul will play a friendly game against Cameroon U-16 National side on Wednesday, August 22.

India were scheduled to play Turkey on Wednesday. However, the game has now been deferred for unknown reasons.

India played its first friendly match on the tour against AFC U-16 Championship qualified Oman on Monday, August 20, losing 1-2 with the game against Turkey scheduled for tomorrow.

Acting on it, the All India Football Federation immediately contacted Cameroon Football Federation with an offer to play a friendly game.

Interestingly the Cameroon U-16 National side has also been camping at Istanbul in preparation for their upcoming AFCON U-17 competition, so they were available at short notice to play a match.

The AIFF sincerely thanked the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT), and are happy to confirm that the India U-16 boys will now be playing the recently crowned UNIFFAC champions Cameroon side in Kartepe on Wednesday, August 22.
