The Asian Football Confederation has intimated the All India Football Federation about the new match schedules for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Preliminary Competition and the AFC Asian Cup China 2023 Qualifiers Preliminary Joint Qualification Round 2.
In a letter to AIFF, the AFC said: “After several months of anxious waiting and now with the improved situation globally and in preparation of the “new normal,” the AFC in consultation with FIFA, is planning to reschedule the postponed matches in the FIFA International Windows in October and November 2020.”
India, coached by Croatian Igor Stimac, is virtually out of the reckoning for a berth in the next round of the qualifiers as they have just three points from five matches and stay in the fourth position of Group E with just Bangladesh below them in the five-team group.
