The Indian men’s football team is gearing up for a significant match against Qatar in the FIFA World Cup 2026 and AFC Asian Cup 2027 Preliminary Joint Qualification Round 2. The match is set to take place on Tuesday at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar.
India’s memorable win against Kuwait, secured by Manvir Singh’s solitary goal, has provided momentum for the team as they face Qatar. Despite recent form troubles, Qatar initiated their campaign with an 8-1 victory over Afghanistan.
India’s past encounters with the higher-ranked opponent, notably in the 2019 World Cup Qualifiers when Gurpreet Singh Sandhu delivered a remarkable performance, making 11 saves to hold Qatar to a 0-0 draw in their own den, continues to provide inspiration for the team.
The match between India and Qatar is scheduled to kick off on Tuesday, November 21, at 07:00 p.m. IST at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar.
India is yet to register a win against Qatar in their three matches so far, having lost 2 and drawn one. The head-to-head record is detailed as follows:
– 27/09/1997, FIFA World Cup Qualifying – AFC, Qatar 6-0 India
– 10/09/2019, FIFA World Cup Qualifying – AFC, Qatar 0-0 India
– 03/06/2021, FIFA World Cup Qualifying – AFC, India 0-1 Qatar
The India vs Qatar 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier match will be broadcast live on Sports18 1, Sports 18 1HD, and Sports18 3. Additionally, live streaming will be available on the Jio Cinema app.
