India vs Tajikistan CAFA 2025 Live Streaming Details: Here are the details on how to view IND-TJK match to be played on Friday.

India Begin CAFA Nations Cup 2025 Campaign

India men’s national football team will participate in the CAFA Nations Cup 2025, to be held between August 29 and September 8. The edition this year will be jointly hosted by Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, and India has been assigned to Group B with tough competition.

India’s all matches are scheduled to be held in Hisor, close to Dushanbe, Tajikistan, so the opening match against the home side becomes even tougher.

Fresh Era Under Khalid Jamil

The Blue Tigers enter the tournament at a transition period, having managed only one victory in 2025 so far. Newly elected head coach Khalid Jamil will be leading his first major international assignment.

“It is a big challenge for me. I have got what I wanted. For me now the task is to deliver,” Jamil had stated earlier in Bengaluru.

India’s campaign starts with the opener against Tajikistan on August 29, followed by matches against Iran on September 1 and Afghanistan on September 4. The group stage will be decisive as the first two teams from each group move into the play-offs.
