India U-17 v Guam U-17: Confirmed lineups and pre-match updates for AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2027 qualifier

India U-17 will meet Guam U-17 in a Group E fixture of the AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers at Kuala Lumpur Stadium on 14 November 2026. The match is scheduled to kick off at 2:00 PM IST.

Group E contains India, Palestine, Guam, Singapore and hosts Malaysia, with only the group winner advancing to the 16-team AFC U-17 Asian Cup set to be played in Uzbekistan this May. Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur Stadium is hosting all Group E matches. India opened the group with a 4-2 victory over Singapore in their first game; captain Dallalmuon Gangte scored a hat-trick and Ristik added a goal, under coach Mehrajuddin Wadoo.

Palestine have won both of their opening group matches and top Group E at present, leaving India needing a win against Guam to preserve momentum before their meeting with Palestine on 17 November. Guam sit bottom of the group after a 6-0 loss to Singapore and a 5-0 defeat to Palestine and are described as all but out of qualification contention. Guam enter Saturday’s game aiming to play for pride and to attempt an upset against the Blue Colts.

Both teams are reported to have fully fit squads available for selection. The source lists the confirmed players as: Maroof Shafi (GK), Sangnuntluanga, Zoramdinthara Lalhunmawia, R Lawmsangzuala, Hrishikesh Charan, Mukundo Singh, Md Sahir Ali, Leo Thongbam, Kamgouhao Doungel, Dallalmuon Gangte, Sailex Oinam; Liam Ralph (GK), David Benavente, Timothy Dixon, Nikko Byerly, Haruki Okamoto, Kansuki Ishii, Trystan Santos, Stephen Rioja, Gage Cruz, Peter Barcinas, Julian Escalante.

There have been no official matches between India U-17 and Guam U-17 prior to this fixture, making Saturday’s meeting their first encounter. The report states Guam has never qualified for an AFC U-17 Asian Cup, while India have qualified for the AFC U-17 Asian Cup ten times in their history. India finished third in their group at the AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2026.

The India v Guam qualifier on Saturday, 14 November 2026, will kick off at 2:00 PM IST at Kuala Lumpur Stadium and is likely to be streamed on the FAMTV Malaysia YouTube channel. India’s next confirmed group match after this fixture is against Palestine on 17 November, with only the top team from Group E progressing to the AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2027.
