Footnotes

1. RSSSF mistakenly count the match at 2007 AFC Asian Cup qualification between Yemen and India but in-fact he only played in one match in the year 2006. It was in a 0–3 defeat to Japan in the same competition. ^{[4] [5]}
2. On 16 May 2024, Chhetri posted a video on his social media handle of X, that the match against Kuwait for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification on 6 June 2024 would be his last international match of his career. ^{[6] [7]} However on 6 March 2025, AIFF officially mentioned Chhetri in the 26 member squad for March 2025 FIFA Window. It was revealed that the newly appointed head coach, Manolo Márquez requested Chhetri about making a comeback to strengthen the National Team for the third round of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualification, which he had agreed upon. ^[8]
3. Chhetri also previously appeared thrice for the India U-20 side and scored 2 goals at the 2004 South Asian Games. ^{[9] [10]} He also scored 2 goals in 4 matches at the 2022 Asian Games. ^{[11] [12]} These matches are not considered as FIFA 'A' international goals but are considered official goals by AIFF. He also scored a goal in an unofficial friendly match against Qatar. FIFA allows a maximum of six substitutions by each team for friendly matches, ^[13] but in the match against Qatar, more than six substitutions were made by India, ^[14] thus the match is not considered an official match.
