The All India Football Federation (AIFF) sent its under-23 team to Bangladesh to win their third SAFF Championship on the bounce, and the young players have looked every bit the part under the management of head coach of the senior team-Stephen Constantine. Mumbai City FC’s dynamic left back Subhasish Bose leads his country and has been very effective down the channels so far. The team’s other full back, 22-year-old Davinder Singh has also put up the shift on the other flank and has been very dangerous with his crossing. Constantine has effectively utilised the raw pace of the duo to give India teeth in the attack.

Manvir Singh has been another revelation in Bangladesh so far, and his brace against Pakistan in the semis was a testament to his growing stature in the Indian team. The Punjab lad was playing at University level when he caught the eye of AIFF scouts who handed him trials with the Under 23 team. Manvir was also called upon by the senior team and managed a couple of substitute appearance in the tri-nations cup in Mumbai. It would not be wrong to say that Manvir has been the player of the tournament so far for India in the SAFF cup and all eyes would be him in the final. India vs Pakistan, SAFF Cup 2018 Semi-Final Match Video Highlights: Watch Indian Football Team Defeat Arch-Rivals 3-1 To Enter Final.

Opponents Maldives have never made it to the finals of a SAFF Championship for a long time, and the way they ran 3-0 winners over Nepal in the semis means they cannot be taken lightly. Maldives head coach Petar Segrt speaking ahead of the match stressed on the fact that the final of any tournament is a one-off the affair and whoever is good on the day wins. They may have lost to India in the group stage, but for Steven Constantine, they remain a very dangerous side who hit the opponents hard on the counter. For this young Indian team comprising of future stars, there is also the added incentive to grab a place in the Indian senior squad for the Asian Cup squad.
