AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia: A third draw in four matches with Manolo Marquez at the helm may not be much to look at, but the Indian football team head coach is convinced that the side will make the cut for the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027.

In their only match in the November 2024 FIFA International Window, India came from behind to draw Malaysia 1-1 at the GMC Balayogi Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad on Monday.

While expressing his disappointment at the result, Marquez had a rather positive outlook on the team’s prospects next year, when the Blue Tigers begin their AFC Asian Cup 2027 qualification campaign.
