Team India are faced with a challenging endeavor to secure a spot in the knockout stage of the AFC Asian Cup, having been grouped with Australia, Uzbekistan, and Syria in Group B, under the leadership of Sunil Chhetri. The upcoming crucial match against the 25th-ranked Australian team on January 13 (Saturday) carries significant weight, and even securing a point could substantially improve their chances of advancing to the next round. Given India's premature exits in the 2011 and 2019 editions, this tournament serves as a crucial opportunity for redemption. Despite occupying the lowest rank in their group, the Blue Tigers showcased their prowess by securing two titles – the Intercontinental Cup and SAFF Championship – last year. This accomplishment highlights their ability to outperform teams with higher rankings.


Post the Australia match, India are set to face Uzbekistan on January 18th, presenting another formidable challenge for Igor Stimac’s team. Achieving victory in the match against Syria on January 23 might become pivotal for their progression to the next round, potentially positioning them in the third spot within the group. The top two teams from each group, in addition to the four best third-placed teams from the six groups, will move on to the Round of 16.
