The Indian football team face a major test in their latest FIFA international window as they take on Panama in a friendly at Bengaluru's Sree Kanteerava Stadium on Friday.

The fixture also marks the beginning of a demanding run for India, who are set to face three teams that participated in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Brazil and Uruguay scheduled to visit Kolkata next month.

India vs Panama Team News

India head coach Khalid Jamil has selected a 26-member squad for the September-October international window. The Blue Tigers will be without several familiar names, including Sandesh Jhingan, Lallianzuala Chhangte and Liston Colaco.

Experienced midfielder Anirudh Thapa returns to the national team after a prolonged absence, while Ryan Williams has recovered from injury and is available for selection.

Gurpreet Singh Sandhu is expected to start between the posts. Jamil could opt for a four-man defence as India look to stay organised against Panama and utilise their pace when transitioning from defence to attack.

Panama head coach Thomas Christiansen has named a 27-player squad. Fourteen members of the group were part of Panama's 2026 World Cup squad. The team also includes newcomers such as Marcos De León, Jair Modelo, Joseph Jones, Josué Vergara, Daivis Murillo and Mijahir Jiménez.

Predicted Lineups

India (4-4-2): Gurpreet Singh Sandhu; Abhishek Singh Tekcham, Anwar Ali, Bijoy Varghese, Akash Mishra; Lalengmawia Ralte, Anirudh Thapa, Ashique Kuruniyan, Ryan Williams; Vikram Partap Singh, Manvir Singh.

Panama (5-4-1): Orlando Mosquera; Amir Murillo, José Córdoba, Andrés Andrade, Joseph Jones, Omar Valencia; Cristian Martinez, Carlos Harvey, Adalberto Carrasquilla, José Luis Rodríguez; Tomás Rodríguez.

For Jamil, though, the match provides an important opportunity to assess his squad against high-level opposition. Ryan Williams' pace and direct running could be particularly valuable if India look to attack quickly on the counter.

India will also draw confidence from their familiarity with the Kanteerava Stadium, where they lifted the 2023 SAFF Championship.
