India vs Thailand: The Indian football team is set for a busy summer of international action. It begins with a crucial FIFA International Friendly against Thailand on June 4, 2025, at Thammasat Stadium in Pathum Thani. Though classified as a friendly, this match is an important part of India’s preparation for the AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers.

India vs Thailand FIFA Friendly on June 4: Preparation for AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers

A Battle with Purpose

India, ranked 127th in the FIFA Rankings, will face 99th-ranked Thailand in what should be a competitive clash. The match carries no points, but the stakes remain high. The Blue Tigers are getting ready for their Group C qualifier against Hong Kong on June 10. This game serves as their final test before that key encounter.

India vs Thailand: A Storied Rivalry

India and Thailand have locked horns 26 times in the past. Thailand leads the head-to-head with 12 wins, while India has claimed seven victories, and the remaining seven matches ended in draws. However, momentum is on India’s side in recent meetings—the Blue Tigers famously beat Thailand 4-1 in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup and followed it up with a 1-0 win in the King’s Cup.

Qualification Tensions Mount

India is part of Group C alongside Hong Kong, Singapore, and Bangladesh—all four teams are level on one point after Matchday 1. India’s opening match ended in a goalless draw against Bangladesh in Shillong, a result that has raised the stakes for the remaining fixtures.

The friendly against Thailand is therefore not just about preparation—it’s about rediscovering rhythm, regaining confidence, and fine-tuning strategies before a critical must-win qualifier.
