India to Face Hong Kong in Final AFC Asian Cup Qualifier

India national football team will take on Hong Kong national football team in their final match of the AFC Asian Cup Saudi Arabia 2027 Qualifiers on March 31, 2026. The fixture marks the last game of Group C for both sides, with neither team in contention for qualification. 

India entered the match after a difficult campaign that saw them finish at the bottom of the group standings. Their struggles included a 0–1 defeat to Bangladesh in November 2025, where Shekh Morsalin scored the only goal in the 11th minute. 

Despite being a dead rubber in terms of qualification, the match still holds importance due to FIFA ranking points. India will aim to end their campaign on a positive note, while Hong Kong will look to maintain their superior head-to-head record in the group. The game is expected to provide both teams an opportunity to test combinations ahead of future international fixtures.
