Igor Stimac’s statement ahead of the draw

Prior to the draw for the 2023 Asian Cup, India head coach Igor Stimac shared his thoughts.

“There’s great anticipation before the draw. There’s still some time left until the competition itself, and I would say that it is very important, how well we use that time to prepare, rather than concentrate on who our opponents will be.”

“I truly believe in our team and the work that they put in, and with the support of the huge Indian fan base in Qatar, we can achieve our goals,” he added.
