India was placed in group A along with, United States, Ghana and Columbia. On 6 October 2017, India played their first ever match in FIFA-U17 World Cup history against United States in front of 47,000 spectators. But unfortunately, India lost the match by 3–0.

The AFC U-16 Championship is the top level tournament for under-16 football teams in Asia and began in 1985.[5] India participated in the tournament for the first time in 1990. They were knocked-out of the tournament in the group stage, finishing third in their four-team group with one against Jordan.[6] The team qualified again for the tournament in 1996 where they finished last in their group which included Bahrain, China, Iran, and Thailand.

India qualified again for the tournament in 2002, where they reached the quarter-final round, in their best result to date.

Two defeats and one victory in the group stage saw India finish third in their group, and were knocked out from the tournament.[9]

After failing to qualify for 2006 AFC U-17 Championship, India qualified for the 2008 edition. Two defeats before a sole victory over Indonesia saw India once again make it no further than the group stage.[10] The same result followed in 2012, only this time with no wins in the group stage.[11]

India, for the seventh time, participated in the tournament in 2016 with the nation hosting the tournament. Despite home advantage, India once again could not make it beyond the group stage and finished last in their group which consisted of themselves, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates.[12]
