India are placed in Group A alongside Asian champions Qatar, Kuwait and Afghanistan with the top two from the group progressing to the third round of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The top two teams from each group will also secure qualification for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.
The Blue Tigers have never advanced to the third round of AFC’s FIFA World Cup qualifiers but a changed format coupled with their terrific form in 2023, gives Igor Stimac’s side a chance to create history. But a solid start to the campaign will be key given the close competition in Group A.
Head coach Igor Stimac has instructed his wards to forget that success and start with a clean slate. Different circumstances, an unknown venue, and several changes in both squads, but most importantly, it’s a World Cup qualifier. The Blue Tigers have played 14 matches this year, but none were as important as the one they will play in Kuwait on Thursday.
