==The teams during the tournament==
[[India national football team|India]] entered the tournament as reigning champions after winning the [[2009 Nehru Cup]] at the Ambedkar Stadium.<ref>https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2009/08/31/asia/nehru-cup/india/syria/1011077/ India 1-1 Syria 2009</ref> However they also came into the tournament following an all defeat performance at the [[2012 AFC Challenge Cup]] but they also came into the tournament with an added optimism as India got a new head coach in [[Netherlands|Dutchman]] [[Wim Koevermans]].<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Chris Punnakkattu Daniel|title=Wim Koevermans appointed new India coach|url=http://www.chrispd.de/wordpress/2012/06/15/breaking-news-koevermans-appointed-india-coach/|accessdate=2012-06-15}}</ref>

[[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] on the other hand came in with an all-domestic line-up which meant regular players who play abroad like [[Alex Song]] would not play in the tournament. Also current head coach of Cameroon, [[Denis Lavagne]], would not be attending the tournament, leaving assistant coach, Emmanuel Bosso to become temporary head coach for the Nehru Cup.<ref name=EB>{{cite web|title=Lenny Rodrigues has impressed me a lot – Cameroon coach Emmanuel Bosso|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/4556/nehru-cup/2012/08/31/3342777/lenny-rodrigues-has-impressed-me-a-lot-cameroon-coach|work=Goal.com|accessdate=31 August 2012}}</ref>
