The story till thenIndia picked up the football gold when they hosted the first Asian Games at home in 1951, beating Iran in the final.

By the time the 1962 games in Jakarta began, Indian footballs profile had risen considerably under coach Syed Abdul Rahim; the semi-final finish at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne was the highlight.The moment India began their group engagements with a 2-0 defeat to South Korea, but then comprehensively beat Thailand and Japan to set up a semi-final against South Vietnam. After winning 3-2, they came up against the Koreans again in the final, but this time they also had to deal with a hostile crowd, angered by some comments attributed to the Indian chef de mission. Rahim played centre-back Jarnail Singh as a striker since he had injured his forehead and required stitches. Jarnail responded by scoring one of the goals in a 2-1 win.The reaction I was a lucky captain that I had such brilliant players with me. Of course, I contributed a bit myself, haviing scored two goals to bring us into the finals.dddddddddddd. - Chuni Goswami, India captainExpert view This remains one of the greatest achievements of Indian football because of the difficult circumstances in which it was achieved. In the final against South Korea, the capacity crowd booed India and did not even pay respect to Indias national anthem.
