Defending champions India would look to preserve a proud record and add a ninth title to their shelf when they face a tough Kuwait in the South Asian Football Federation (SAFF) Championship final is here on July 2.
India were stretched to a penalty shootout by Lebanon in the semifinals before winning 4-2, while Kuwait had to wait till extra time to eke out a 1-0 victory over Bangladesh.
In fact, this will be the second time India will face Kuwait in the tournament. They had played out a 1-1 draw in an acrimonious Group A match last week.
