2020 AFC U-16 Championship: Bibiano Fernandes credits AIFF and SAI's vision for success

Bibiano Fernandes has led the Indian U-16 national team to the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) Championship for the second time in a row.

His troops were very close to sealing a berth in the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup last time out. India conceded a late goal against South Korea in the quarterfinals of the 2018 AFC U-16 finals which ultimately cost them a spot in the U17 World Cup.

The Goan spoke to Goal after a successful campaign that saw India reach the 2020 AFC U-16 Championship with an unbeaten record and a goal difference of +10.
