Original setting and withdrawals

Initially, eight teams were set to participate in the football events - Burkina Faso, Cameroon, India, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, the U-21 youth teams of Uzbekistan and Malaysia, and the U-23 youth team of Malavan F.C. which is an Iranian football club that represented their country.

Cameroon withdrew, and Ghana was chosen as the replacement. However, just before the preliminaries, Ghana pulled out of the event, leaving only seven teams participating.

Venues

The football events were held in two stadiums - the GMC Balayogi Athletic Stadium, which was the main stadium of the Games; and the Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium. The football finals were held in the latter stadium.
