The India national football team is governed by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). Since 1948, the AIFF has been affiliated with FIFA, the international governing body for football. In 1954, the AIFF became one of the founding members of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). At the peak of its success during the 1950s and 1960s, the team was automatically advanced to play in the 1950 FIFA World Cup (all the other Asian teams withdrew), but they did not go to the tournament in Brazil due to the cost of travel, lack of practice time, team selection issues and valuing the Olympics over the FIFA World Cup.[2] They won gold medals at two Asian Games and one silver at the Asian Cup.

History
Main article: History of the India national football team Indian teams started touring Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand in late 1930s. Soon after the success of several Indian football clubs, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) was formed in 1937. The 1948 London Olympics was India's first major international tournament, where a predominately barefooted Indian team lost 21 to France, failing to convert two penalties. The Indian team was greeted and appreciated by the crowd for their sporting manner.[3]
Unofficial: Australia 53 India (Sydney, Australia; 3 September 1938) Official: India 12 France (London, England; July 31, 1948)[1] Biggest win India 70 Ceylon (Bangalore, India; 29 December 1963) Biggest defeat Soviet Union 111 India (Moscow, USSR; 16 September 1955) Asian Cup
Appearances 3 (First in 1964) India qualified by default for the 1950 FIFA World Cup as a result of the withdrawal of all of their scheduled Best result Runners-up: 1964 opponents. But the governing body, the AIFF, decided against going to the World Cup, being unable to understand the importance of the event at that time. Reason shown by AIFF was that there was the cost of travel (although FIFA agreed to bear a major part of the travel expenses), lack of practice time, team selection issues and valuing the Olympics over the FIFA World Cup.[2]
The period from 1951 to 1962 is considered the golden era in Indian football. Under the tutelage of legendary Syed Abdul Rahim[4] India became the best team in Asia. The Indian team started the 1950s with their triumph in the 1951 Asian Games which they hosted[5] Later next year they went on to participate in the 1952 Olympics, but lost 101 to Yugoslavia. Like before four years earlier, many of the team played without boots.[6] After the result the AIFF immediately made it mandatory to wear boots.[7] India then went on to finish second in the 1954 Asian Games held in Manila.[8] At the 1956 Olympic Games they finished fourth, which is regarded as one of finest achievements in Indian football. India first met hosts Australia, winning 42 with Neville D'Souza becoming the first Asian to score a hat trick in the Olympics and also making India the first Asian team to reach the Olympic semi-finals. They lost 41 to Yugoslavia, and lost the third place play-off match 30 to Bulgaria.[9] Then in 1962 India went on to win the 1962 Asian Games where they beat South Korea 21 in the final.[10] Then in 1964 India played in its most memorable tournament yet. The 1964 AFC Asian Cup where they finished as runners-up thanks to then-current manager Harry Wright. India won their first match against South Korea 20, then lost 20 to the hosts Israel then won 31 against Hong Kong which gave India second in the tournament.[11] After the Asian Cup India went downhill. Failure in a many qualification tournaments meant that the next time India reached a quarter-final stage was as host in the 1982 Asian Games.[12] Then all of a sudden India managed to qualify for the 1984 AFC Asian Cup after twenty years out of the cup.[13] But India during the competition failed to make any impact.[14] India would then fail to make the

Asian Cup for another 27 years. Although India failed to qualify for the 2004 Asian Cup, the senior team did well by showing off a silver-medal winning performance in the inaugural Afro Asian Games, with victories over Rwanda and Zimbabwe (then 85 places ahead of India in the world rankings) along the way, losing the final by just 10 to Uzbekistan.[15] As a result, Indian football has steadily earned greater recognition and respect, both within the country and abroad. The LG Cup win in Vietnam under Stephen Constantine was one of the few bright spots in early part of 2000s. It was India's first victory in a football tournament outside the subcontinent after 1974. In November 2003, then India coach Stephen Constantine was named AFC Manager of the Month.[15] In 2006 Bob Houghton was later appointed coach of team. His appointment saw a general progress in Indias performances crowned by victory in 2007 Nehru Cup in August 2007. Houghton then led India to the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup title as they beat Tajikistan 41 in August 2008. Winning the AFC Challenge Cup qualified India for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup for the first time since 1984. He also oversaw the Indian team to its second consecutive Nehru Cup trophy by winning 2009 Nehru Cup.[16] In 2011, India started off their campaign by participating in 2011 AFC Asian Cup for which they qualified after 27 years. India lost all three matches but did manage to perform well in patches.[17] In 2012, India won the 15th edition of Nehru cup by beating Cameroon 5-4 in penalties as the full-time score was tied at 2-2, making it the third successive Nehru cup win for India.[18]
Home stadium
The Indian Football Team does not have a permanent stadium as of 2011 due to so many football stadiums not meeting FIFA guidelines. The only stadiums that are FIFA and AFC approved are the Ambedkar Stadium in New Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium also in New Delhi, Nehru Stadium in Chennai, Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune, and most recently approved after a renovation the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata and Bangalore Football Stadium in Bangalore.
Kit
India traditionally wear a blue strip. As of 2005, Nike, Inc. is currently the official kit provider to the Indian national football team. In 2013 All India Football Federation (AIFF) signed a deal with the Indian multinational oil and gas company ONGC to sponsor the national team.
