AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers: Can India still qualify after losing 0-1 to Hong Kong?
India's hopes of qualifying for AFC Asian Cup 2027 took a major blow after a 0-1 loss to Hong Kong in the third-round qualifiers on Tuesday. With two games left, here's what the Blue Tigers must do to stay alive in the competition. read more India's hopes of qualifying for the AFC Asian Cup 2027 took a big hit in their second match of the third-round qualifiers on Tuesday. The match was being played at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong, where the home side scored a stoppage-time penalty to hand India a defeat. The Blue Tigers, placed in Group C alongside Bangladesh, Singapore, and Hong Kong, have now played two games without scoring a goal. Their campaign began with a 0-0 draw against Bangladesh at home in Shillong on 25 March. Now, with just one point from two games, India are placed at the bottom of the group. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India in trouble after two matches The third round of qualifiers will only allow the top team from each group to qualify for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, which is slated to be held in Saudi Arabia. That means India will need to win their remaining matches and hope other results go their way so they can finish at the top and make the final round. Currently, Hong Kong are at the top of the group with 4 points, while Bangladesh and Singapore both have 2 points. India are also on 2 points (due to an earlier draw) but has an inferior goal difference after the loss to Hong Kong. India are scheduled to play against Singapore in their next match on 9 October. More from Football How can India still qualify? The road is now very difficult but not impossible. India must win both of their remaining matches (against Singapore and Bangladesh) and then hope that Hong Kong lose their remaining games. India will also have to improve its goal difference because teams are currently tied on points. Possible drop in FIFA rankings India's loss may also hurt their FIFA ranking, which is expected to fall to around 133rd, making things even tougher for Manolo Marquez's side. India were ranked 127th before the match against Hong Kong, which is ranked 153rd.

Manolo Marquez to request AIFF to remove him as Indian head coach after deflating loss vs Hong Kong: Report
It has been an extremely unhappy period in Indian men's football, with the team struggling immensely over the last 18 months. Since the beginning of 2024, India have played 16 matches and won only once, and things have reached a tipping point after a 1-0 loss to lowly Hong Kong in Tuesday's AFC Asian Cup qualifier. Fan frustration with Marquez has increased significantly in 2025, with a string of humiliating losses in which the national team has looked absolutely toothless in front of goal. It is now three consecutive games without any goals, against fairly manageable opposition in Bangladesh, Thailand, and now Hong Kong. With India's qualification chances for the 2027 Asia Cup now hanging by a thread, there is an expectation that Marquez might step back from his role as head coach after all momentum has stalled in India's football progress. The decision to bench Sunil Chhetri for this match against Hong Kong has been seen as a managerial blunder, and as per those in the know, the Spaniard is contemplating resigning from his position within a year of taking over for Igor Stimac in July 2024. India have slipped down to 133 in the FIFA world rankings. However, an AIFF source has claimed that Marquez has thus far taken no action in terms of stepping down from his position, with India's football federation only able to await any decision he makes. Speaking on the steps required to step down from the role, a source explained to PTI that it is not a unilateral decision, and that he would only be able to leave following a mutual agreement: "He can do so only after mutual agreement, that the AIFF gives him permission to part ways.' Marquez signed on for the coaching role with a two year tender, and only 11 months into the role, results haven't gone to plan and led to immense pressure from stakeholders. Nevertheless, Marquez hasn't yet communicated a desire to resign from his position. "We have not got any request in writing from Manolo that he wants to leave from the job. We can apply our mind only after he informs us what he wants," explained the source further. India have a period of time to decide what they need to do next, with four out of four wins required to stay alive in the qualification hunt, currently at the bottom of their group. Their next Asian Cup qualification fixtures is a set of matches home and away against Singapore during the October international break, but with no guarantee that Marquez will be at the helm for those games.

AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers: Parth Jindal, fans fume at India's unacceptable 1-0 loss to Hong Kong
India's AFC Asian Cup Qualifier campaign suffered a major blow on June 10 as they fell 0-1 to Hong Kong — a team ranked 26 places below them in the FIFA rankings (India at 133rd, Hong Kong at 153rd). The upset was sealed in dramatic fashion during injury time, when goalkeeper Vishal Kaith rushed off his line and fouled Hong Kong's Michael Udebuluzor inside the box. The referee immediately pointed to the spot, and Stefan Pereira calmly slotted home the penalty in the 94th minute to secure a historic win for Hong Kong. Despite dominating possession for much of the game, India's familiar shortcomings in front of goal once again proved costly. A golden opportunity fell to Ashique Kuruniyan in the first half after a clever pass from Liston Colaco, but the winger failed to convert — a miss that came to define the evening. Full-time! A tough one to take for the #BlueTigers.#HKGIND #IndianFootball ⚽️ Indian football head coach under fire Head coach Manolo Márquez's tactical decisions also came under the scanner. His choice to bench veteran striker Sunil Chhetri — who had recently come out of international retirement to boost a struggling attack — raised eyebrows. His replacement, Lallianzuala Chhangte, was largely ineffective, and the midfield lacked cohesion and creativity. 57' Substitutions!Sunil Chhetri & Mahesh Naorem ⬆️Ashique Kuruniyan & Brandon Fernandes ⬇️🇭🇰 0️⃣-0️⃣ 🇮🇳Watch #HKGIND in #ACQ2027 live on @FanCode 📺#BlueTigers #IndianFootball ⚽️ This defeat not only puts India's qualification hopes in serious jeopardy but also exposes deeper issues around the team's tactical direction and morale. Fans and experts alike are now questioning whether Márquez is the right man to lead the team forward. Parth Jindal, fans fume at India's loss One of the strongest public reactions came from Bengaluru FC co-owner and JSW Sports CEO Parth Jindal, who didn't hold back in his criticism. Taking to social media after the match, Jindal called on the All India Football Federation (AIFF) to make immediate and sweeping changes, including appointing a new head coach. "This is completely unacceptable @IndianFootball — just not good enough under any circumstances," Jindal wrote. "Deep introspection needed by the AIFF. This is not what all of us lovers and backers of Indian football have spent our hard-earned money and effort to witness. Get a manager and a system that works — it's high time. There is too much effort to see a result like this." This is completely unacceptable @IndianFootball - just not good enough under any circumstances - deep introspection needed by the AIFF - this is not what all of us lovers and backers of Indian football have spent our hard earned money and effort to witness - get a manager and a… His remarks struck a chord with frustrated fans who have grown increasingly disillusioned with the national team's stagnation. The Hong Kong loss follows a 0-3 friendly defeat to Thailand, further compounding the pressure on the AIFF and Márquez's coaching staff. Don't expect any real change in Indian football as long as corrupt babus sit at the top of AIFF. :) This is just the beginning of the downfall, we're not even halfway there. Totally agree. The fans, players, and everyone involved deserve much better. Indian football has passion and potential — but without a clear system and leadership, progress will keep stalling. It's time for change, not BCCI should take over Indian football too — it… Humble Request to PM Narender Modi Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya for OCI and PIO in Indian Football! 🙏🏻🇮🇳We Can't see our Indian National Team Like this! 🙏🏻 With just a sliver of hope remaining for qualification, the clock is ticking — and for Indian football, another crossroads has arrived.
