The 28-member Indian soccer group, which arrived in Doha on Wednesday to play within the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers, had their 10-day quarantine interval waived off by the Qatar Football Federation (QFA).
The gamers and assist workers, although, will stay in obligatory quarantine until they obtain the outcomes of the RT-PCR assessments performed in Doha. The squad will thereafter be allowed to kick off their preparatory camp as a part of their preparation for the three matches beginning June 3.
“The Group E World Cup Qualifiers will probably be performed inside a safe bio bubble. We perceive that there are specific obligatory well being parameters, which must be adhered to upon arrival in Doha, which we are going to with full diligence,” All India Football Federation (AIFF) general secretary Kushal Das said on Thursday.
AIFF president Praful Patel had detailed chats with the president of the Qatar FA who raised our concern with the Prime Minister’s Office, after which the 10-day quarantine period was waived off,” Das mentioned.
“We are grateful to the Qatar FA for the style they went out of the best way and helped us start our camp in Qatar early.”
India are currently on three points from three matches in Group E. While they are out of contention to progress in the World Cup qualifiers, they are still within a shot of qualifying for the Asian Cup.
India will play Asian champions Qatar on June 3, Bangladesh on June 7, and Afghanistan on June 15.
