Singapore U-17 v India U-17: Lineups and pre-match notes for AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2027 qualifier

India U17 will begin their AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2027 qualifying campaign against Singapore at the Kuala Lumpur Stadium in Malaysia on Wednesday, 11 November 2026. The Blue Colts meet an in-form Singapore side viewed in the source as one of the strongest teams in their group.

India enter the tie aiming to secure qualification for a second consecutive AFC U17 Asian Cup and carry a four-game unbeaten run into the match, having not lost since the 2026 AFC U17 Asian Cup. Mehrajudding Wadoo’s young players are described in the source as needing to reserve their best for the qualifiers, with the coach urged to keep a compact defensive shape while encouraging adventurous attacking play. The source states a win would provide an ideal start to the campaign, while a loss would represent an early setback.

The Singapore U17s arrive off a 6-0 victory over Guam U17, a result the source says boosted confidence and momentum within their squad. According to the source, Singapore will seek to balance respect for India’s attackers with a fast-paced, attacking approach designed to continue their free-scoring form. The source also notes that another substantial win would strengthen Singapore’s position in the group, whereas defeat could interrupt the momentum from their last fixture.

Squad information in the source records that Mehrajuddin Wadoo has named a 23-player roster for the qualifiers and that Singapore should field the same squad they used against Guam U17. The match is noted in the source as the first-ever competitive meeting between India U17 and Singapore U17.

The source lists the Indian and regional players as: Maroof Shafi (GK), Lawmsangzuala, Doramdinthara, Malsawmtluanga, Malem Laishram, Mukundo Singh, R. Lawmsangzuala, Dallalmuon Gangte, Kamgouhao Doungel, Hrishikesh Charan Manavathi, Ristik Maity Ilhan Rezal (GK), Caden Preira, Leo Caleb, Tyler Tan, Joel Zong, Lura Mika, Ahmed Farid, Arfan Khafiz, Lai Lum, Issac Tian Zhi, Aidan Irfan.
