India Gear Up for Hong Kong Test
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|June 10, 2025
Manolo Marquez will hope to keep India on track for an unprecedented third successive Asian Cup finals berth when they face hosts Hong Kong in Tuesday's qualifier, which could be his last match as head coach.
KOLKATA: A win would be the ideal way to end his short India stint, but for that Marquez's men will have to do what no Indian team has since 1957—win in Hong Kong.
All four teams in Group C, from where only the winners will qualify to the 2027 Asian Cup, have one point following 0-0 draws. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has announced a bonus of $50,000 should India win at the stadium in Kai Tak Sports Park, which will be inaugurated with this match. The last time the teams met in 2022, India won 4-0 in Kolkata.
