AFC U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers:  India ended their campaign in the AFC U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers on a disappointing note, going down 0-3 to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to finish without a win in the tournament.

After the pool was reduced to three teams following the late withdrawal by the Maldives, India had to handsomely win one of the matches against China and UAE to keep alive their hopes of making it as one of the best second-placed teams, especially after losing to China because of a last-minute goal.
