Legendary Footballer IM Vijayan who will also be traveling to Macau as an observer said the 'team looks to be in great shape.'
Six players from Indiaās AFC U-23 campaign in Doha were named in the 24-member squad for Indiaās forthcoming AFC Asian Cup Qualifier match against Macau on September 5, 2017. The squad will be departing for Macau from Mumbai via Bangkok on Friday (September 1, 2017).
India currently stays on top of Group A with 6 points, courtesy back to back victories against Myanmar and Kyrgyz Republic.
However, National Coach Stephen Constantine felt there is āno reason to underestimate Macau as a Team.ā
āMacau will be playing at home and in front of their home crowd. Thereās always a marked difference between playing at home and playing an away match but we are aware of the challenge,ā Constantine said on arrival.

The Team has been camping in Mumbai since August 12, 2017, during which they played two International matches against Mauritius and St. Kitts and Nevis in the Hero Tri-nation Football series as part of the preparation.
