<h2>The defeat has left India languishing at the bottom of their group, burdened with a poor goal difference. Their prospects of advancing to the Round of 16 now appear grim.</h2>

The Indian football team experienced another setback in the AFC Asian Cup, succumbing to a 3-0 loss against Uzbekistan at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium in Qatar. This defeat marked India's second consecutive loss in the tournament.
From the outset, Uzbekistan, ranked 68th globally, dominated the match. They quickly gained the upper hand with Abbosbek Fayzullaev scoring the opening goal in just the 4th minute. India's woes were compounded when Igor Sergeev found the net in the 18th minute, doubling Uzbekistan's lead.
India, desperately hoping for a turnaround before the break, were further demoralized by a third strike from Uzbekistan's left-back Sherzod Nasrullaev. This goal effectively dashed any hopes India had of staging a comeback and the match eventually finished without any more goals.
The defeat has left India languishing at the bottom of their group, burdened with a poor goal difference. Their prospects of advancing to the Round of 16 now appear grim. India face the challenge of needing a miraculous performance in their final group match against Syria and relying on other match outcomes to favour their advancement.

Australia beat India 2-0 in campaign opener of AFC Asian Cup

India denied mighty Australia any goal till the 50th minute but eventually lost 0-2 in their AFC Asian Cup.

&nbsp;India kept former champions Australia at bay till the 50th minute before eventually losing their AFC Asian Cup football tournament opening group match 0-2 in a gritty performance here on Saturday.
Australia were the overwhelming favourites to win the Group B match and nobody gave India a chance but Igor Stimac's men denied their mighty opponents any success in the first half and then five minutes into the second session, dishing out a superb defensive show.
The Indians, though, ran out of steam later on in the face of waves of attacks from the rampaging Australians, who won the title in 2015 and are ranked 25th in the world as against 102nd of Stimac's team.
Jackson Irvine (50th minute) and Jordan Bros (73rd) scored for Australia to take home full three points from the match at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium.
India, however, did better than their 0-4 loss to Australia in a group match in the 2011 Asian Cup.
The Indians would not be too disappointed by the margin of loss. Perhaps, they would be happy to have conceded just two goals, which may prove beneficial later on when the third-place team is decided from the group.
The top two teams from each group, along with four best third-placed sides from across six groups, progress to the knockout round of 16. A knock-round berth will be a huge achievement for India.
Stimac had told his players before the Australia match to remain compact defensively and avoid giving away set-pieces if they want to deny the physically and technically much superior Australians from scoring goals.
His wards executed his plans to the 'T' in respect to the first instruction but was less successful in the second as the Australians got enough set pieces, though most of them were corner kicks, to score. But to the credit of the Indians, they did not concede any goal from the set pieces.
For almost the whole first 45 minutes, the Indians sat really deep with all the 11 players, including captain Sunil Chhetri, defending in their own half as the rampaging Australians did all the attacking.
With no Indian attack bothering him, Australia captain and goalkeeper Mathew Ryan stationed himself near the centre line and egged his team-mates for most part of the first half.
India, though, got one golden chance to stun the mighty Australians in the 16th minute but Chhetri missed it. Nikhil Poojary worked on the right flank and sent a beautiful cross and Chhetri sneaked out of three defenders to head the ball towards the Australian goal but it went wide.
The vociferous crowd, mostly Indian supporters, in the 45,000-capacity stadium could not believe it, so too the Indian dug out.
But, it was the Australians who were all over the place as they came in waves of attacks and crosses from both the flanks as the Indians crowded in their box and threw in their bodies at times to block the shots.
Defensive mainstay Sandesh Jhingan sustained a cut on his right forehead after an aerial duel in the first half and he played with a bandage.
Connor Metcalfe had a golden opportunity to give Australia the lead in the 21st minute but his shot from the top of the box was deflected by Indian goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, who initially committed the mistake of kicking into an opponent from a backpass.
After having overwhelming share of ball possession in the first session, the Australians were not to be denied too long as they took the lead in the 50th minute through an Irvine strike.
Considering the valiant vigil in the first half, it was a soft goal conceded by the Indians. Sandhu came out of line to connect to a high cross from the right. He had a hand on the ball but could neither get hold of it nor was he able to palm it away farther.
The ball fell to Irvine whose left-footed shot went past the crowded Indian defence to bulge the net.
Trailing by a goal, the Indians had to change their defensive strategy and open up a bit, which, however, created chances for the Australians who made it 2-0 in the 73rd minute.
Substitute Riley McGree outpaced Lalengmawia Ralte on the right side and he sent a cross for Bros to fire in Australia's second goal.
Australia, however, escaped from conceding a bizarre goal in the 69th minute. They lost the ball at the back after the Indians pressed high and a backpass had too much power heading towards the goal, with Ryan way off his line.
However, the ball changed its path in the end and Ryan recovered to clear it.
India play Uzbekistan on January 18 in their second group match.

India start as clear underdogs against formidable Australia in AFC Asian Cup opener

India has come into the tournament with the best available squad, after three key players defender Anwar Ali, defensive midfielder Jeakson Singh and nippy winger Ashique Kuruniyan missed out due to injuries

Securing a knockout round berth looks difficult but not impossible as the Indian football team takes on title contenders Australia in its opening group match of the AFC Asian Cup here on Saturday.
Eliminated in the group stage in their last two appearances in 2011 and 2019, India faces an uphill task this time also, as they have been clubbed with Australia, Uzbekistan and Syria in Group B.
India's hopes of making it to the round of 16 in the continental showpiece depends on the outcome of the match against Syria on January 23 as Australia and Uzbekistan (January 18) are way ahead of them in terms of quality.
A win against Syria can put India in the third place in the group, offering a chance for a knock-out round berth. The top two teams from each group, along with the four best third-placed sides from across six groups, progress to the knockout round of 16.
Head coach Igor Stimac and captain Sunil Chhetri have already hinted that Australia (25th in FIFA ranking) and Uzbekistan (68th) -- the favourites to take the top two spots in the group -- are possibly out of reach for India.
India had beaten Syria in the past -- in the 2007 and 2009 Nehru Cup tournaments -- and that provides a ray of hope for the Chhetri-led team, ranked 102 in the world.
A knockout round berth will be a huge achievement for India, who are making their fifth appearance in the Asian Cup, after coming close in the last edition in 2019, and especially for Chhetri, who will be playing for the last time in the prestigious tournament.
The 39-year-old talisman will be playing in his third Asian Cup, after his 2011 and 2019 campaigns, having scored four goals in six matches, the most by an Indian.
India will start as clear underdogs at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium against mighty Australia, the 2015 champions, who have come here with ambitions of regaining the title and who won 4-0 in the 2011 edition group match in the only earlier clash between the two sides in the tournament.
Australia are one of the regular sides in the FIFA World Cup from Asia and they are a confident bunch after making it to the round of 16 in the last edition in Qatar. They had made a quarterfinal exit in the 2019 Asian Cup.
The Socceroos are a mix of experienced and young players with 19 of the 26 currently plying trade in European leagues while only four are playing in the domestic A-League. The remaining three play in Japan and Saudi Arabia.
India have come into the tournament with the best available squad, after three key players defender Anwar Ali, defensive midfielder Jeakson Singh and nippy winger Ashique Kuruniyan missed out due to injuries.
Chhetri seems to be getting better with advancing age but despite his hunger for goal, it will not be easy for him and his team-mates to breach the Australian goal, manned by captain and experienced custodian Mathew Ryan, who won the Asian Cup in 2015 and was part of the squad that qualified for each of the last three World Cups.
Stimac's men would do well to keep the damage to the minimum as the number of goals conceded may play a role later in deciding who makes it to the round of 16 as third-place team.
"We didn't have much knowledge of Australian team back then (2011)...compared to minute details we have now. We have watched their friendlies against Palestine and Bahrain, we know which leagues their players are in, and individual clips on them," said Chhetri.
"With this familiarity, the fear factor goes out...of course they are a couple of levels above...but at least we know what we are up against." Statistically, the two countries have played eight matches against each other with Australia having won four times and India thrice, with one game ending in a draw. All of India's wins have, however, come before 1957.
The Indian men's senior team is also playing for the first time under Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in the match against Australia on Saturday. VAR technology will make its full debut in Qatar following its successful implementation from the quarter-final stage in the 2019 edition in the United Arab Emirates.
All 51 matches at the Asian Cup in Qatar will also see VAR complemented by the Semi-Automated Offside Technology (SAOT) system.
The India-Australia match will also see Japan's Yoshimi Yamashita creating history by becoming the first woman referee to take charge of a game in the Asian Cup.

India face a tough challenge at the AFC Asian Cup, having been placed alongside heavyweights Australia &amp; Syria. Uzbekistan is the fourth team in their Group.

The draw for the 2024 AFC Asian Cup was conducted in Doha on Thursday, with the Indian men's football team being placed in Group B alongside powerhouses Australia, Syria, and Uzbekistan. India, who successfully qualified for the tournament, were drawn from pot 4.

Group C &ndash; Iran, UAE, Hong Kong, Palestine

The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has withdrawn its bid for the hosting rights of the AFC Asian Cup which is to be held in 2027.
The AIFF management will be announcing a strategic roadmap for the federation this month according to which hosting a big tournament is not one of the priorities at the moment.
&ldquo;Our current focus is building the foundations of a proper footballing structure before thinking of hosting bigger events like the AFC Asian Cup,&rdquo; said the Executive Committee in a statement.
&ldquo;India has always been a wonderful and efficient host to big tournaments, which was amply demonstrated in the recently concluded FIFA U-17 Women&rsquo;s World Cup." AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey said.
"However, the EC has decided that the overall strategy of the Federation currently remains on focusing on the fundamental goals to strengthen our football at every level from grassroots to youth development." He further added.
India&rsquo;s best performance at the Asian Cup was the runner-up finish in 1964. The country has never hosted the event.

Qatar to replace China as 2023 AFC Asian Cup host nation

Reigning champions Qatar will replace China as the host nation of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup and will defend its title on home soil.

Here's why China stepped down as the host

Qatar was chosen ahead of the two other finalists Indonesia and South Korea for the right to hold the biennial championship of Asian football

Qatar will replace China as the host nation of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, the Asian Football Confederation announced on Monday.
In a statement, the AFC said Qatar was chosen ahead of the two other finalists Indonesia and South Korea for the right to hold the biennial championship of Asian football at a meeting of its Executive Committee on Monday.
With Qatar already set to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup next month, AFC president Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said "Qatar's capabilities and track record in hosting major international sporting events and their meticulous attention to detail are well admired throughout the globe."
China stepped down as the host earlier this year due to uncertainty over the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing the AFC to quickly find a new host.
The change in hosts also means Qatar, the reigning AFC Cup champions, will defend its title on home soil next year.
The AFC also announced India and Saudi Arabia as the final two bidders for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, with a final decision to make at the AFC Congress in February 2023.
