The '''India national under-23 football team''' represents [[India]] in international under-23 [[association football|football]] and is controlled by the [[All India Football Federation]] (AIFF). A member of the [[Asian Football Confederation]] (AFC), the team is eligible to compete in the [[Football at the Summer Olympics|Summer Olympic Games]], the [[AFC U-23 Asian Cup]], and the [[Football at the Asian Games|Asian Games]], subject to qualification.

Since only allowing under-23 sides to compete in the Olympic Games in 1992, India have never qualified for the summer games. The under-23 side have also never participated in the AFC U-23 Asian Cup while at best only making it to the round of 16 in the Asian Games.

==History==
===Asian Games===
====2002 Busan Games====
The under-23 side participated in their first ever tournament during the [[2002 Asian Games]] in [[Busan]], [[South Korea]]. They were put into a group with [[China national under-23 football team|China]], [[Turkmenistan national under-23 football team|Turkmenistan]], and [[Bangladesh national under-23 football team|Bangladesh]]. Their first match was against Bangladesh. India won 3–0 through a brace from future [[India national football team|senior]] captain [[Baichung Bhutia]] and a strike from [[Renedy Singh]]. India played their second match two days later against Turkmenistan. They won 3–1. Bhutia again scored a brace while [[Abhishek Yadav (footballer)|Abhishek Yadav]] scored the third goal as India ran out 3–1 winners. Unfortunately, in their final match against China, India could not find the net as they fell 2–0 and thus were knocked-out of the Asian Games.<ref>{{cite web|title=Asian Games 2002 (South Korea)|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/asgames02.html|work=RSSSF|access-date=26 May 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502202003/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesa/asgames02.html|archive-date=2 May 2014|url-status=live}}</ref>

====2006 Doha Games====
During the [[2006 Asian Games]] India were placed in a group with [[Iran national under-23 football team|Iran]], [[Hong Kong national under-23 football team|Hong Kong]], and [[Maldives national under-23 football team|Maldives]]. In their first match against Hong Kong, India drew 1–1 with [[Pappachen Pradeep]] scoring the lone Indian goal. In their second match, India faced off against Maldives and won 2–1. [[Irungbam Surkumar Singh]] and [[Subhas Sumbhu Chakrobarty]] were the scorers for India that night. Finally, in their last match against Iran, India once again lost 2–0 and thus were once again knocked-out of the Asian Games.<ref>{{cite web|title=Asian Games 2006 (Qatar)|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/asgames06.html|work=RSSSF|access-date=26 May 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140615105402/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesa/asgames06.html|archive-date=15 June 2014|url-status=live}}</ref>

====2010 Guangzhou Games====
During the [[2010 Asian Games]] in [[Guangzhou]], [[China]], India were placed in a group with [[Qatar national under-23 football team|Qatar]], [[Athletes from Kuwait at the 2010 Asian Games|Kuwait Athletes]], and [[Singapore national under-23 football team|Singapore]]. India lost their first match against the Kuwait Athletes 2–0 and then lost their second match against Qatar 2–1 with the lone India goal coming from [[Dharmaraj Ravanan]]. India went on to win their final match of the group stage against Singapore 4–1. Four players scored each goal, [[Jewel Raja]], [[Balwant Singh (footballer)|Balwant Singh]], [[Jibon Singh]], and [[Manish Maithani]]. The victory managed to help India finish in third-place which then helped India become the best third-place team out of all the other third-placed teams and thus qualified them for the Round of 16.

In the Round of 16, India took on powerhouse [[Japan national under-23 football team|Japan]] at the [[Huangpu Sports Center]]. India went on to lose the match 5–0 with [[Kensuke Nagai]] scoring a brace and [[Ryohei Yamazaki]], [[Kazuya Yamamura]], and [[Kota Mizunuma]] scoring a goal each.<ref>{{cite web|title=2010 Asian Games |url=http://www.gz2010.cn/en/ |work=Olympic Association of Asia |access-date=26 May 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140602185411/http://www.gz2010.cn/en/ |archive-date=2 June 2014 }}</ref>
