World Cup Qualifiers: Indian Senior Men Aim For An Upswing In Saudi Mountain City
FIFA World Cup Qualifiers: With their chances bright of making it to the third round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, the Indian senior men's football team has travelled to Saudi Arabia to this town, nicknamed the Bride of the Mountain, for an away match against Afghanistan.
The temperature was a pleasant 20 degrees Celsius on the first day of training for the Blue Tigers, who travelled to the capital of the Asir province for the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers match late on March 21 (early on March 22 morning).
At 2,470 metres above sea level, it would perhaps be the first time each one of the Blue Tigers would play at such a high altitude. Acclimatisation to such conditions had to be the first order of business, and so, the national team landed in Abha as early as possible after the ISL paused for the international break. Led by skipper Sunil Chhetri, all 25 of the Indian team members underwent their first training session on Saturday evening.
