The Indian men’s football team faces a crucial test as it takes on Singapore in a twin-leg fixture of the AFC Asian Cup 2027 third-round qualifiers, with the first match scheduled in Singapore on October 9, followed by the return leg in Goa on October 14.
 
India currently finds itself at the bottom of the group with a FIFA ranking of 134, and with only the table-toppers progressing to the tournament in Saudi Arabia, the Blue Tigers have no margin for error. Under the guidance of newly-appointed head coach Khalid Jamil, India will look to bounce back after a turbulent year that saw multiple coaching changes and inconsistent results.
 
 
Jamil’s 23-member squad sees the return of veteran striker Sunil Chhetri, but key players like Apuia and Abhishek Singh Tekcham are notable absentees. India will be banking on experienced names like Sandesh Jhingan and Gurpreet Singh Sandhu to bring stability and leadership on the pitch.
 
India’s historical record against Singapore hasn’t been favorable. In 13 past encounters, India has won only four times, while Singapore has emerged victorious on seven occasions, with two draws. Their last meeting in 2022 ended in a 1-1 draw.
 
Singapore, buoyed by a recent win over Bangladesh, tops the group with four points and will aim to extend their lead. For India, anything less than three points would be a major blow to their qualification hopes, making this a true do-or-die fixture.
