how many times india won football world cup
India national football team India has never participated in a FIFA World Cup.[59] After gaining independence in 1947, India managed to qualify for the World Cup held in 1950. This was due to Myanmar, Indonesia, and the Philippines withdrawing from qualification.[59] However, prior to the start of the tournament, India themselves withdrew due to the expenses required in getting the team to Brazil.[59] Other reasons cited for why India withdrew include FIFA not allowing Indian players to play in the tournament barefoot and the All India Football Federation not considering the World Cup an important tournament compared to the Olympics.[59]
