India U-17 to face Guam U-17 in Kuala Lumpur in AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2027 qualifier on 14 November 2026

India U-17 will meet Guam U-17 at Kuala Lumpur Stadium in the AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers on 14th November 2026, with the match scheduled to kick off at 2:00 PM IST as part of Group E play.

Group E features India alongside Palestine, Guam, Singapore and hosts Malaysia, with only the group winners advancing to the 16-team final tournament scheduled to be played in Uzbekistan in May; all Group E matches are being staged at Kuala Lumpur Stadium. India opened their campaign with a 4-2 victory over Singapore, coached by Mehrajuddin Wadoo, in which captain Dallalmuon Gangte scored a hat-trick and Ristik added the other goal, while Palestine have won both of their opening fixtures and currently lead the group.

Guam sit at the bottom of Group E after a 6-0 loss to Singapore and a 5-0 defeat by Palestine, leaving them largely out of contention for qualification; they will meet India on Saturday aiming to improve their standing. The fixture between India and Guam will be the first official meeting between the two U-17 sides.

Both teams are reported to have fully fit squads available to their managers. India’s selected players listed for the match are Maroof Shafi (GK), Sangnuntluanga, Zoramdinthara Lalhunmawia, R Lawmsangzuala, Hrishikesh Charan, Mukundo Singh, Md Sahir Ali, Leo Thongbam, Kamgouhao Doungel, Dallalmuon Gangte and Sailex Oinam.

Guam’s named squad includes Liam Ralph (GK), David Benavente, Timothy Dixon, Nikko Byerly, Haruki Okamoto, Kansuki Ishii, Trystan Santos, Stephen Rioja, Gage Cruz, Peter Barcinas and Julian Escalante. Team officials have indicated no fitness concerns ahead of the match.

Dallalmuon Gangte, India’s captain, netted a hat-trick against Singapore in the opening Group E match; he is part of NorthEast United’s youth setup and has played in India’s U-17 Youth League. The 16-year-old is described as able to operate as a central and attacking midfielder, with the capacity to push forward and take shots, and is expected to be a key attacking presence for the Blue Colts.

The India U-17 v Guam U-17 qualifier is likely to be streamed live on the FAMTV Malaysia YouTube Channel. India’s next scheduled Group E match after facing Guam is against group leaders Palestine on 17th November, with only the top team from the group progressing to the continental finals in Uzbekistan in May.
