The Indian men's football team is set to face Malaysia in an international friendly slated for November 18 in Hyderabad. This follows the recent announcement by the All India Football Federation (AIFF), which moved the game forward by a day and confirmed Gachibowli Stadium as the venue.
This match marks a critical point for head coach Manolo Marquez, who remains winless after three games since taking over the helm. Facing Malaysia, ranked 133rd while India stands at 125th in FIFA rankings, Marquez aims for a change in fortunes.
The upcoming game also highlights Hyderabad's Gachibowli Stadium, which recently hosted the Intercontinental Cup. India's past faceoffs haven't been favorable, with a recent loss to Malaysia in the Merdeka Cup semifinal. The football community will be watching closely.
