India, 21 December 2025 — The Indian men’s football team is set to face Myanmar in a key qualifier for the 2025 AFC Asian Cup. The match, scheduled to take place in Guwahati on December 23, 2025, is critical for India as they aim to secure a spot in the continental tournament. India, currently placed second in their qualifying group, will be looking to capitalize on home advantage.
The team, led by coach Igor Štimac, has been training intensively at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, where they will host Myanmar. With star player Sunil Chhetri recovering from an injury, the onus will be on youngsters like Sahal Abdul Samad and Liston Colaco to step up.
Myanmar, who are at the bottom of the group, will be eager to upset India’s plans. Despite their position, the team has shown resilience in recent matches, making them a challenging opponent.
This match holds significant importance as the top two teams from each group automatically qualify for the 2025 AFC Asian Cup. India’s last encounter with Myanmar resulted in a draw, adding pressure on Štimac’s side to secure a win this time.
The Indian football community is hopeful for a positive outcome, emphasizing the significance of qualifying for the Asian Cup to boost the sport's profile in the country.
