Half of them don\u2019t know the other half. But they have gotten a real test of International Football from this camp- the intensity, the discipline is of the paramount importance and they&#8217;ll surely hone these attributes which would help them to excel in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-26247\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Football-icon-isn.jpg\" alt=\"Football icon isn\" style=\"margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; float: left;\" width=\"260\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Football-icon-isn.jpg 260w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Football-icon-isn-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/>NEW DELHI: The Indian U-23 National Team will take on Singapore U-23 National Team in an International Friendly in the first of the two-match series in Singapore on Sunday (July 9, 2017).
