India vs Iran CAFA Nations Cup LIVE Updates: The Indian football team faces a stern test against Iran in the CAFA Nations Cup 2025 on Monday (1 September) at the Hisor Central Stadium in Hisor, Tajikistan. India won their first match of Group B against Tajikistan on Friday, and will look to inch closer to progressing from the group stage with a win over Iran, but Team Melli is the highest-ranked side in the competition.
India are ranked 133rd in FIFA standings while Iran are at the 20th spot. Nonetheless, India will have to take inspiration from their victory against a higher-ranked side, Tajikistan , which was also the first match for new coach Khalid Jamil.
The former India midfielder Khalid Jamil is known for employing astute defensive tactics and it will be quite an achievement if India manage to secure a draw against Iran.
The goals for India came through Anwar Ali and Sandesh Jhingan as the team made full use of corners and quick throw-ins. They will look to employ a similar strategy against Iran.
