Notes

  1. ^ Malaysia apparently used a team of players who had not appeared in the Merdeka Tournament in Malaysia immediately prior to this tournament in Singapore. But the match against Malaysia is considered as full A international by various sources.[13][14]
  2. ^ Some sources doesn't count the games played at the Olympics finals and qualifiers as official.[21] In 1999 FIFA deleted Olympics and Olympics Qualifying matches from its records. However most FAs ignore FIFA ruling and continue to recognize their Olympics and Olympics qualifying matches as official. According to RSSSF all those matches are considered official for India.[22]
  3. ^ This match against South Korea XI in 1977 is considered as full A international for India by some sources.[37][38]
