India U-19 boys to play China U-19 National Team The Indian National U-19 Team will be travelling to Shanghai to play a couple of International Practice Matches against Chinese U-19 National Team. The India U-19 boys presently training at the Elite Academy in Goa under Colm Joseph Toal will play their Chinese counterparts on August 17 and August 19 respectively. The Exposure Tour arranged by All India Football Federation is keeping in mind the U-19 AFC Qualifiers which will be held in Doha in the first week of October. The nucleus of the squad had represented India in the Final Phase of the AFC U-16 Competition in Tehran in 2012 where the Indian colts came agonisingly close to a Quarterfinal berth. The top-four of the Competition eventually earned a ticket to the U-17 World Cup. Besides, the U-19 boys would also be playing a Match against a U-19 Shanghai U-19 City Team. The squad leaves for Shanghai on August 5 (Monday).
