Kolkata: The Salt Lake Stadium, officially known as Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, has been confirmed as the host of India's 2022 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifier match against Afghanistan on June 9.
India, who are placed at the fourth spot in the Group E standings of the Asian Qualifiers, is yet to win a match after it held Qatar for a goalless draw and settled for 1-1 draw against Bangladesh and Afghanistan. However, they lost to Oman in both legs 1-2 and 0-1 respectively.
India now need to win all of their three remaining matches against Qatar, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to move into the next round.
Before the home leg against Afghanistan, the Blue Tigers will host Qatar on March 26 at Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneshwar and travel to Bangladesh on June 4.
Team India coach Igor Stimac will be hoping to get all six points from their June outing as India are ranked a lowly fourth in a group that has arguably only two teams stronger on paper than the Blue Tigers.
