Days after the 2022-23 season of the Indian Super League (ISL) came to a close, the Indian Senior Men’s Team will return to action in the Hero Tri-Nation Football Tournament. The Blue Tigers will lock horns against Myanmar on the opening day of the competition on Wednesday, March 22.
The match will be part of Igor Stimac and his cavalry preparations for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, which is set to commence early next year.
The Blue Tigers were part of a five-day camp in Kolkata and landed on Tuesday in Imphal, where the competition will take place over the next seven days.
In their last international window, in September last year, India secured a draw against Singapore but then suffered a comprehensive 3-0 defeat against Vietnam. The Chinthe recently participated in the AFF Championship and suffered four defeats and managed to secure just a draw. Their losses came against the likes of Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia.
