The Indian football team is set to participate in the 49th King's Cup, where they will face a strong opponent in Iraq on Thursday, September 7th. This matchup marks the first time in over 12 years that the Indian national team will be playing against Iraq, with their last encounter dating back to 2010.
Igor Stimac's team faces a formidable challenge in Iraq, as they are ranked higher than India and are considered one of the toughest opponents the Blue Tigers have faced in recent years. Additionally, India won't have the advantage of playing on home turf, as the match is scheduled to take place at the 700th Anniversary Stadium in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Despite the absence of home support, a decent turnout is anticipated for this exciting clash. It will be a significant test for the Indian football team as they aim to showcase their skills and compete against a strong Iraqi side in the King's Cup.
