Notes

  1. Some sources doesn't count the games played at the Olympics finals and qualifiers as official. [4] In 1999 FIFA deleted Olympics and Olympics Qualifying matches from its records. However most FAs ignore FIFA ruling and continue to recognize their Olympics and Olympics qualifying matches as official. According to RSSSF all those matches are considered official for India. [5]
  2. Indonesia's team (known as PSSI Garuda) was composed mostly of young players with a view to developing the next generation of the national team. It can be considered as a national B team or youth team. It is not clear whether any of their matches are considered to be full internationals for the PSSI. The match against India is considered full internationals by some sources. [18] [19]
