India drawn in Group K for inaugural FIFA U-15 World Cup; 8v8 format confirmed

India has been drawn into Group K for the inaugural FIFA U-15 World Cup. The tournament will feature a modified format, with matches played in an 8v8 setup rather than the standard 11-a-side game.

Each match will consist of two 20-minute halves, separated by a five-minute half-time break. This represents a departure from traditional football rules for the youth competition.
