“We are very happy … we need to prepare in the best possible fashion, and pray that the fans get an opportunity to be with us at the stadium, and cheer us to victory,” head coach Igor Stimac said in a release from the All Indian Football Federation. 

Whether or not fans will be allowed to attend the games has not been revealed yet. But, Igor Stimac is hopeful that supporters will be allowed in the stands. The matches will take place in the summer from June 8 to 14. 

Before appearing in the Asian Cup Qualifiers, India will be competing in two international friendlies next month. Fixtures against Bahrain and Belarus on March 23 and 26 have been set up to prepare for the upcoming tournament. 

India will be expected to make the finals, especially considering the group that they have been drawn in. With fresh talent from the ISL, things look to be promising for the Blue Tigers in the upcoming qualifiers.
