India will face Qatar in a crucial FIFA World Cup Qualifying match on Tuesday (June 11) at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha. Qatar, having already secured qualification, will top the group regardless of the outcome.
India, however, is vying for the second spot with Afghanistan and Kuwait. Notably, India will be without their legendary forward Sunil Chhetri, who played his final game in the previous qualifier match against Kuwait.

India's recent performances have been underwhelming. A strong showing in this match is crucial for direct progression to the AFC Asian Cup 2027, a goal emphasized by coach Igor Stimac. Gurpreet Singh Sandhu will captain the team. With 72 caps, the 32-year-old is now the most experienced and longest-serving player following Chhetri's departure.
India will have to get a victory to ensure their progression to the 3rd round of the World Cup Qualifiers. They currently sit 2nd in the table with 5 points, same as Afghanistan. If the Blue Tigers draw against Qatar, then they can only go through if the match ends in a draw between Afghanistan and Kuwait. If India lose in Doha, they will be out of the race.
