The Asian Cup will kick off on Saturday and will run until February 1 in the UAE.

Iran, Japan and South Korea are the favorites for the title in the competition which will be held with 24 teams for the first time.

The winner will qualify for the Confederations Cup of Qatar in 2021.

The Asian Cup is the second oldest continental competition in the world of football, after the Copa America that started for the first time in 1916.

The first Asian competition was organized in 1956 in Hong Kong and was won by South Korea.

Australia is the current champion and won his only trophy in 2015, after beating South Korea in the final.

Japan is the country with the most titles, with four, followed by Saudi Arabia and Iran, which have three each.

[KapitaanAli]

India should toil it down to valuable draws.

 

[Tokhme khar]

Our women fans are gearing up for this. Many fans of team Iran will fly in from the whole world to support the team:

 

[AyanRay]

India beat Thailand 4-1

 

[Darwin]

The NE gang blew the thais away who ran out of steam in the 2nd half.
But the play still looks haphazarded. When u watch good teams attack , their is a systematic build up and polished finish.
We won't do well against UAE and baharain.

 

[Crixus]

We have started the Cup with bang ... believe me ISL has raised the standard of Indian football too .....

India beat Thailand 4-1

Were you sure about this result before the match .... one more win and they will be in top 16 ......

Nice job lads! I think Indian soccer is finally coming of age....slowly but steadily.

If they qualify for top 16 it will give huge boost to their reputation back home

"ABU DHABI: Cricket-mad India shocked and humiliated Thailand 4-1 in the team's first Group A match of the Asian Cup football tournament on Sunday.

Immediately after the match, the Football Association of Thailand released Serbian coach Milovan Rajevac, already under strong criticism for weak performances by the War Elephants all during last year.

Assistant coach Sirisak Yodyathai will handle the team through the rest of its Asian Cup campaign - at least two more matches.

Veteran Indian striker Sunil Chhetri scored twice, and overtook Lionel Messi to become the second highest-scoring active international player, with 66, one more than Messi. Only Cristiano Ronaldo (85) is ahead of him."

The teams are closely FIFA ranked with India at 97 and Thailand around 110.

Lovely to see this.

1. It started making a difference when the football-forward north-east was brought into the scene.
2. There is more money available now; it is no longer a sacrifice to play for a club or for your country.
3. Allowing one or two foreign players is an important element in this revival; it allows methods and practices, tactics and game strategy, to be showcased in our local leagues, without difficulty.
4. The team coach seems to be a potent agency for change.
