The Indian men’s football team is preparing for the third round of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, set to begin in March, with a friendly match against Malaysia on November 18 at the GMC Balayogi Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad.
Ranked 125th, India will aim for their first win under head coach Manolo Márquez, while 133rd-ranked Malaysia will also look to secure a victory. After a 1-1 draw with Vietnam last month, India hopes to build momentum and improve their record of two draws and a loss under Márquez.
This friendly is the first meeting between the two teams since the October 2023 Merdeka Cup semi-final, where Malaysia defeated India 4-2. The match offers India a chance to regain confidence and make strides in their qualification campaign for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.
