India story in the 1950 World Cup

In 1950, the Indian national team qualified for the World Cup, but then decided to withdraw, linking the story that he did not bear the travel costs to participate in the World Cup, only to find out that he decided to withdraw for another reason related to special customs and traditions.

The Indian national team refused to participate in the World Cup because of the shoes, because he preferred to play matches without them, which was rejected by the International Football Association because it was not stipulated in its competition laws.
