AFC Asian Cup: India are all set to participate in the AFC Asian Cup for the fifth time in history, once the ball gets rolling on January 13.

The previous editions were in 1964, 1984, 2011, and 2019.

While the first edition remains India’s most successful stint at the Asian Cup after they finished runners-up behind Israel (it was a round-robin tournament), the Blue Tigers have never made it past the group stage after that.
