India Returns to AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup After 18-Year Absence

The Indian beach soccer national team has returned to compete in the AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup after 18 years of absence by landing in Pattaya, Thailand. The newly appointed captain Rohith Y and his Indian beach soccer team consisting of players from Kerala begin the competition on March 20 by facing Thailand.

Mohd Faizal Bin So’od thinks India will benefit from being away from significant competition for many years. “We have studied our rivals but they cannot use accurate data about our team,” says Mohd Faizal Bin So’od. According to the Malaysian coach, this unknown factor may prove helpful for his team. The team left Gujarat and traveled to Delhi for their flight to Bangkok then ended their journey with road transportation to Pattaya.

The battling top two positions from each division will decide if India can keep moving forward into the quarterfinals. The team has invested effort and every player wants to show their true capabilities. The team welcomes the tough match against the home defending champions because that’s our purpose.
