AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers: India and Hong Kong will face off in the AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers, Third Round match, at the Kai Tak Stadium on Tuesday.

Placed in Pot 1 for the qualifiers, India, ranked 127th, got off to a slow start with a draw against Bangladesh in March. Meanwhile, Pot 2 side Hong Kong, ranked 153, could also only manage a point in Singapore, meaning there is still nothing to separate the four sides after the first matchday.
