AIFF thanks Qatar FA as Indian team lands in Doha

New Delhi: The Indian National Team landed safely at the Hamad International Airport Doha late evening yesterday, May 19, 2021, for India’s three forthcoming matches in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and AFC Asian Cup China 2023 Qualifiers, slated to be played from June 3 onwards.

The 28 players and the support staff are in compulsory quarantine till they receive the test results of the RTPCR tests in Doha. The squad will, thereafter, be allowed to kick-off their preparatory camp as part of their preparation for the matches. “The AIFF would like to put on record its gratitude to the Qatar Football Federation for their help, cooperation and understanding in helping the Blue Tigers to assemble in Doha and start the camp, all in an effort to take football forward together,” the Indian football body said.
