India qualified by default for the 1950 FIFA World Cup finals as a result of the withdrawal of all their scheduled opponents. However, they did not take up their place in the competition. The Indian players were unable to play as boots were required according to FIFA legislation, and the Indian players were not used to footwear and thus refused. The Indian football team was known to play barefoot during the period. The team has never since come close to qualifying for the World Cup.
