The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has announced that Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, in Shillong, Meghalaya, will host two matches of Indian senior men’s team during the March FIFA International Window.
This is the first time that JLN Shillong will host senior men’s international matches after the stadium was refurbished last year. The 15,100-seater arena has hosted matches in domestic tournaments.
Meanwhile, the Blue Tigers will begin their AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027 Qualifiers Final Round campaign against Bangladesh on 25th of March, and will play an International Friendly against the Maldives on 19th of March as part of their preparation, at the JLN Stadium, Shillong.
The announcement came just a few days after the same venue hosted NorthEast United’s home match of the Indian Super League (ISL), the first in Meghalaya, against Mumbai City on February 7.
“This is the first time that JLN Shillong will (host) senior men’s international matches after the stadium was refurbished last year,” the AIFF said in a release.
