Head Coach of the Indian Football Men’s national team, Igor Stimac, has handed call ups to Forty-three players for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers as well as the 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers.

India will play against Qatar on 26th March in Bhubaneswar, Kalinga stadium. The invited players will come into camping in two different batches.

The rest of the called up players will join in on the 16th March. India are placed fourth on the five-team group E with Qatar, Oman, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh.
