<P> Indian teams started touring Australia , Japan , Malaysia , Indonesia and Thailand in the late 1930s . The All India Football Federation ( AIFF ) was formed in 1937 . The 1948 London Olympics was India 's first major international tournament , where a predominately barefooted Indian team lost 2 -- 1 to France in the opening match , failing to convert two penalties . Sarangapani Raman scored the only goal for India in that match and thus the first Indian international goal ever in the Olympics . </P>
