The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has approved India's bid to host the third round of the AFC Asian Cup China 2023 Qualifiers that will take place from June 8 onwards.

The third round qualifiers will be held at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata across three match days on June 8, 11 and 14 this year.

China will host the main tournament in 2023.

"We had bid to host the third round qualifiers of the AFC Asian Cup, and are grateful to the



Asian Football Confederation for accepting our bid," All India Football Federation (AIFF) general secretary Kushal Das said.

"We understand that playing at home, and that too in Kolkata will be an added advantage to the Blue Tigers in our quest to qualify for the Asian Cup."

India has qualified for the Asian Cup four times earlier -- 1964, 1984, 2011 and 2019.

The team had finished runners-up in 1964 which has been the best performance so far.
