Manolo Marquez, the Head Coach of the Indian Football Team, has announced a 26-member probable squad for the next international assignment for the Blue Tigers. India will be playing a Tri-Nation tournament in Vietnam.
Starting their campaign against Vietnam on 9th October 2024, the Indian football team next play against Lebanon on 12th October 2024 and would be hoping to win both the games in this Vietnam Tri-Nation Tournament.
All the matches will be played at the Thien Truong Stadium in Nam Dinh and a total of 23 players will be picked from the 26 probable squad.
In the Intercontinental Cup 2024, India endured a poor campaign as they failed to win a single game. After their 0-0 draw with Mauritius, India lost the plot to Syria, 0-3.
Mahmoud Al Aswad, Daleho Irandust and Pablo Sabbag netted the goals for the Syrian team against India in that game.
It will be interesting to see as to how India stages a comeback under the tutelage of Manolo Marquez through this tournament in Vietnam.
The likes of Vishal Kaith, Farukh Chaudhary, Rahim Ali and Vikram Partap Singh have staged a comeback into the probable list after missing out on the Intercontinental Cup squad.
India have played 9 international matches in this year and have lost 6 of them, while registering 3 draws. The Blue Tigers haven’t tasted a single victory and this is a huge concern for the team.
With the retirement of Sunil Chhetri, there is a huge void as well and the transition phase is happening at a very crucial juncture in Indian football.
