AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup: The Indian beach soccer national team arrived in Pattaya, Thailand on Monday, marking their long-awaited return to the AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup after 18 years.

Drawn into Group A, India will face a tough challenge, beginning their campaign against hosts Thailand on Thursday before locking horns with Kuwait on March 22 and Lebanon on March 24. With high spirits and a point to prove, the Indian squad is ready to leave their footprints on the sand.

The team set off from Gujarat on March 16, reaching Delhi in the evening. After a brief wait at the airport, they boarded a flight to Bangkok, before embarking on a road trip to Pattaya, where the AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup Thailand 2025 is set to be held. As they soaked in the sights of Bangkok’s skyline and the endless stretches of lush green landscapes, the anticipation for the challenge ahead only grew stronger.
