A historic moment arrives this Saturday as India and Brazil square off in their first-ever encounter between the two nations.
The iconic Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata will serve as the backdrop for the friendly between FIFA's 138th-ranked side and the five-time world champions, with a crowd of 68,000 fans set to pack the ground for this landmark occasion.
Brazil has already featured in two matches during its tour of the Eastern Hemisphere, taking on Australia in back-to-back games. The Seleção kicked off with a 1–1 stalemate that needed a 95th-minute leveler from Rayan, before bouncing back to claim a 4–2 victory in the rematch.
India, for their part, has had just one outing during this international window. The Blue Tigers earned a creditable 1–1 draw against Panama as preparation for this most demanding of challenges.
Here's everything fans need to know about how to catch Saturday's friendly.
