India will lock horns with Syria in the Intercontinental Cup 2024 in a highly anticipated encounter on Monday, September 9. After being held to a frustrating goalless draw against Mauritius in their opening match, the Blue Tigers are in urgent need of three points if they wish to keep their title hopes alive.
The match will take place at the G.M.C. Balayogi Athletic Stadium in Hyderabad, with kick-off scheduled for 7:30 PM IST.

The India vs Syria clash will be broadcast live on Sports18 and live-streamed on JioCinema, allowing fans across India to catch all the action. The match kicks off at 7:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time) on Monday, September 9, 2024.
India will be looking to bounce back from their underwhelming performance against Mauritius, where they failed to find the back of the net. Head coach Manolo Marquez will rely on star forward Manvir Singh to provide the attacking threat needed to dismantle Syria’s sturdy defense. India’s form has been less than encouraging, but a victory in this must-win match could revive their campaign.
Syria, meanwhile, started their tournament on a positive note with a convincing 2-0 win over Mauritius. They sit comfortably at the top of the table and require only a draw against India to clinch the title. Their talismanic forward Mahmoud Al-Mawas was instrumental in their win and will be a key player to watch against India.
For India, the spotlight will be on Manvir Singh, a versatile forward capable of making a difference with his pace and finishing. On the other hand, Syria will depend on the experience and creativity of Mahmoud Al-Mawas, their top scorer in the tournament so far, who played a vital role in their first match victory.
