Indian men’s football team on Tuesday qualified for the 2023 Asian Cup Finals after Palestine defeated Philippines 4-0 in a Group B match in Ulaanbaatar.
The result meant that the Palestinians directly qualified for the 24-team Finals finishing as Group B toppers, while Philippines, with four points, were eliminated despite finishing second. This is the first time India have qualified for the Asian Cup in two successive editions, having made a group league exit in 2019.
