Today, India leaves for the pre-quarter match of Asian Games Football. The rivals are Saudi Arabia, the giants of Asian football. This is one of India’s major challenges in the Asian Games.
The match will be played at the Huanglong Sports Center Stadium in Hangzhou at 5 PM IST. In India, the match can be watched on Sports Network, Live Streaming and Sony Live.
Indian fans have a lot to worry about as they take on Saudi Arabia, who defeated Argentina in the coup of the century in the 2022 Qatar World Cup. For the Blue Tigers, the match against Saudi is a litmus test.
In the FIFA ranking, Saudi Arabia is at the 57th position while India is at the 102nd position. When it comes to Asian football, India is at the 18th position and Saudi Arabia is at the 5th position.
It is certain that Saudi Arabia, who are not stingy in scoring goals, will constantly test India’s goal. Saudi scored 18 goals from the three matches played in the Asian Games. Meanwhile, India managed to score only two goals out of three matches.
India’s previous confrontation with Saudi Arabia was four decades ago. When they met in the 1982 Delhi Asian Games, India lost by a goal to none.
Indian coach Igor Stimak said that the match against Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest challenges in his career. Stimak also stated that although no one in the team is injured, the team is suffering from discomfort including cold.
After losing to China by five goals to one in the group stage, India defeated Bangladesh by a one-sided goal. India reached the pre-quarters with a draw against Myanmar with one goal each.
