“We are very excited. We’ve never dreamt about playing again a team like Brazil, but we are here. It’s simply amazing. It’s really exciting that our coaching staff and federation believe that we can play against tough teams like Brazil, Chile, and Venezuela. I’m sure this will be one of the matches that we will remember all our lives. There’s no fear, we will not hold back and be overborne by. Overborne by the occasion,” said India custodian Aditi Chauhan in an official AIFF release.
