Good squad selection by Coach Moosa. I'm particularly excited to see Ayush Dev Chhetri and Lalrinliana Hnamte in midfield. They've shown great promise in ISL. All the best boys! 💙

While I appreciate the initiative, I wish there were more players from I-League clubs getting opportunities. The squad seems heavily dominated by ISL academy products. Still, hoping for a good result!

As someone who follows Indian football closely, I'm impressed with the systematic approach. Regular friendlies during FIFA windows is exactly what our youth teams need. Thailand will be a good test!

Hope the match is streamed live! Would love to watch these young talents in action. Thailand U23 is quite strong, so it will be a challenging but valuable experience for our boys.
