India U-17 men's national team to face FC Augsburg U-17 in training game

New Delhi [India], May 25 (ANI): The India U-17 men's national team is set to face FC Augsburg U-17s in a training game in Augsburg, Germany, on Friday.

This game will be the third training match that the Blue Colts will play during their preparatory camp in Germany. Earlier this month, India played two more games against a mix of U-16 and U-19 boys from VFB Stuttgart (1-3) and SSV Reutlingen U-16 (6-1).

"We have had a few days to train after our last game, and we're ready for our last two matches here in Germany," India head coach Bibiano Fernandes said in a statement released by AIFF.com.

The India U-17s have been on an extensive preparatory path for the AFC U-17 Asian Cup (to be held next month in Thailand), as they camped in Spain for a month before shifting base to Stuttgart, Germany on May 16. Having played two matches in Stuttgart, and after attending a number of Bundesliga games, the Blue Colts have arrived in Augsburg for the last week of their training in Germany.

"We have had a fruitful time in Germany. The facilities have been fantastic, and the boys have learnt a lot from different sessions given by the coaches in Stuttgart," Fernandes further added.

The India U-17s have arrived in Augsburg on Thursday, and will play their first game against their hosts on Friday.

"Augsburg are of course one of the top clubs in Europe, and we expect their U-17 team to be of a very high standard as well. It will be a good game, but the boys are improving every day," India head coach said.

The Blue Colts, after finishing their preparation in Germany, will head to Thailand two weeks ahead of the AFC U-17 Asian Cup, for further training and acclimatisation. They will face Vietnam (June 17), Uzbekistan (June 20), and Japan (June 23) in Group D. (ANI)
