India To Play Two International Friendly Matches Against Tajikistan During FIFA Window In June 2026

The Indian men's national team will play two friendlies against Tajikistan on June 5 and 9, 2026. Both games will be in Hisor during the FIFA International Match Window. The matches will start at 20:30 IST at Hisor Central Stadium.

The Blue Tigers are currently in London for the Unity Cup 2026. They will face Jamaica in the semi-final on Wednesday, May 27. Their next game will be against Nigeria or Zimbabwe. That match is set for Saturday, May 30.

India to play Tajikistan in June friendlies

India will travel from London to Tajikistan on May 31. The team will stay in Hisor for the two June matches. The fixtures will give more time under head coach Khalid Jamil. They also extend India’s run of regular games in 2026.

Return To CAFA Nations Cup Venue

Hisar Central Stadium holds strong recent memories for the side. Just eight months ago, India won the bronze medal in the CAFA Nations Cup there. On their debut in the Central Asian regional event, they beat Tajikistan 2-1. That match was Khalid Jamil's first in charge.

The two upcoming games will again test India against Tajikistan. They also offer a chance to build on CAFA Nations Cup form. Both fixtures fall inside the June FIFA Men's International Match Window. This keeps India active in official international dates.

June 5, 2026 20:30 Tajikistan vs India Hisor Central Stadium, Hisor, Tajikistan
June 9, 2026 20:30 Tajikistan vs India Hisor Central Stadium, Hisor, Tajikistan
