Asian Cup Qualification

The Indian national side hope to begin their efforts to qualify for the AFC 2019 Asian Cup, on the right note with a group win in Myanmar...

The old Temple city of Bagan will be reverberating with prayer. By historical and statistical accounts, this site in northern Myanmar boasts the highest density of Pagodas and Buddhist temple structures in the world - some 2200 structures spread over just 67 Kilometres. On Wednesday, 28th March, they'll have hymns spring from wall to wall, temple to temple in unison - that for the Myanmar national football team.

This is because, at 5 PM local time, The White Angels will take to the football pitch in an Asian Football Confederation's (AFC) Asian Cup 2019 Qualification Group A bout against their neighbours India.
