Ardiya [Kuwait], September 21 (ANI): India may have begun the AFC Futsal Asian Cup 2026 Qualifiers with a defeat to Kuwait, but the Futsal Tigers are on the right track, according to head coach Reza Kordi. India will face Australia in the second Group A qualifier on Monday, at the Qushaian Al Mutairi Hall in Ardiya at 18:30 IST. The 1-4 defeat to the hosts on Saturday was no blemish on the young careers of the Indian futsal squads. Not many gave India, the lowest-ranked team (135th) in the group, a chance against Kuwait, the best-ranked side (43rd). Laltlansanga, Indian futsal's trailblazer, maintained his record of scoring in each of the four Futsal Asian Cup qualifier matches India has played so far.
