AFC Asian Cup 2023: When Is Indian Football Team's Next Match?

The Indian men's national football team finds themselves in a do-or-die situation in the upcoming game after suffering consecutive losses in the AFC Asian Cup 2023.
Despite enduring two consecutive defeats, Igor Stimac's men still hold a chance of qualifying for the Round of 16 (knockout stage) in the AFC Asian Cup 2023.
The Indian men's national football team currently occupies the bottom spot in 4-team Group B with zero points, after two back-to-back defeats against Australia and Uzbekistan.
India is set to face Syria in their next 2023 AFC Asian Cup fixture on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar.
The Blue Tigers are under immense pressure, as a loss against Syria in their final group stage match will bring an end to their AFC Asian Cup campaign.
According to the AFC Asian Cup format, the top two teams from each of the six groups secure a place in the Round of 16 (knockout stage). Additionally, the top four out of the six third-placed teams from the groups also advance to the next round.
If India can secure a position among the top four third-placed teams across all groups, they will successfully qualify for the Round of 16, which is the knockout stage.
