AIFF Statement on misleading media narration

There has been some misleading media narration over the team’s preparation in Doha wherein Head Coach Mr. Igor Štimac’s comments have been misinterpreted. The team management including the players, the Head Coach, the support staff along with the AIFF are grateful to the Qatar FA for their cooperation in their quest to help the Blue Tigers prepare for the forthcoming FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Qualifiers slated to take place in June. Their support has encouraged us to put our best foot forward.

The current pandemic situation has led to certain health parameters which needs to be adhered to. Under such circumstances, everyone in the team needs to be extra careful and follow the social and health guidelines. The Blue Tigers are looking forward to the Qualifiers in June and are keen to put up a good show, all in an effort to bring some hope and smiles to the people back home in India.
