KOLKATA: The state of Manipur has supplied scores of international players over the years to the India team but come next month and it will see a watershed moment in its football history.
For the first time Manipur is set to host official international matches when India (FIFA ranking 106), Myanmar (159) and Kyrgyzstan (94) are involved in a tri-nation friendly tournament at the Khuman Lampak Stadium in Imphal in March. The matches will be played on March 22, 24 and 26, which fall in the FIFA international window.
