The Indian football team will begin its preparations for the AFC Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers from March 14. This national camp will take place two days after the last league match of the Indian Super League (ISL). Indian football team head coach Manolo Marquez had proposed a longer camp to AIFF President Kalyan Choubey, which came out a day before the draw. Marquez, who has not achieved any major success in four matches since taking over from Igor Stimac, held several meetings with senior AIFF officials and the technical team. “After consulting our marketing partners, it has been decided that the national camp can begin on March 14, two days after the final league match of the ISL,” the AIFF said in a statement.
What did the head coach say?
Expressing confidence in his preparation, 56-year-old Spanish coach Marquez said that meetings were held for two days with me and the AIFF President, senior officials and the technical team. I am confident that with our preparation the Indian team will perform well in the Asian Cup Qualifiers. Furthermore, the statement issued by the AIFF also mentioned that the draw for the Asian Cup Qualifiers will take place on Monday at 12.30 pm IST.
This is a crucial time for Marquez, as he has not yet achieved any major success with the Indian team, and all eyes will be on the team’s performance as they prepare for the qualifiers. Meanwhile, AIFF’s strategy will be crucial in preparing the team for this challenging tournament, which could prove to be vital for the future of Indian football.
How was Team India’s performance in the last Asia Cup?
Team India’s performance in Asia Cup 2023 was very poor. The Indian team was part of Group B that season. Apart from Team India, there were also teams from Australia, Uzbekistan and Syria in Group B. Team India had to face defeat against these three teams. Australia defeated India 0-2, Uzbekistan 0-3 and Syria 0-1. Team India was fourth in the group stage.
