India U20 men's football team head coach Mahesh Gawali has announced the 23-player squad for the AFC U20 Asian Cup China 2027 Qualifiers, which will be held in Tashkent from August 31 to September 6.
The final squad was selected after more than 100 players were assessed during trials that began in Bengaluru in June. India also played four friendly matches earlier this month as part of its preparations, winning twice against Singapore and recording victories over Yemen and Singapore, along with a goalless draw against Yemen.
Eight players from the previously announced 30-member squad were released due to technical or injury-related reasons. They are Shuhaid Koya Thangal PS, Arshvir Singh, Ashik Adhikari, Dallalmuon Gangte, Levis Zangminlun, Agastya Bhat, Nirupam Gowda H and Yohaan Benjamin. Daniyal Makakmayum has joined the squad.
India will need to finish at the top of the group or be among the seven best runners-up across the eight qualifying groups to secure a place in the AFC U20 Asian Cup China 2027.
