AFC Asia Cup: Blue Tigers' Trials At Top Echelon Begin With Australia Battle
The AFC Asian Cup: The AFC Asian Cup is as big as it gets for India at this moment in its footballing history. On the brink of their fifth appearance on the continental stage, the Blue Tigers begin their tryst with destiny against the mighty Australians at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Doha, on Saturday.
India, for the first time in the history of the competition, have qualified for back-to-back editions. Carrying a generation of players that grew up when India qualifying for the continental tournament was not a usual sight, this set of players will set out to make that right, as they look to not only normalise India’s appearance at the Asian Cup but to also do something that they have never done before – make the jump to the knockout rounds.
“We are excited that the kick-off time is close. We have had a nice 12 days here working hard. All the boys are excited and we are looking forward to the game. Hopefully, it turns out to be wonderful for our 17 debutants. It is a place for them to learn," said head coach Igor Stimac.
