Nehru Cup 1988


Jawaharlal Nehru Gold Cup 1988, Siliguri

Originally scheduled to start on Jan 16, but postponed due to delays in negotiations with guest
teams. Poland had initially stated their inability to participate, but had later agreed to
enter only if its first match was after Jan 25. Meanwhile the AIFF was negotiating with 
Switzerland and Morocco to replace Poland, to no avail. The other four invited nations (USSR,
China, Bulgaria, Hungary) had already confirmed their attendance.
