Tough road lies ahead for India on their journey towards London and Brazil. In a draw held at the AFC head quarter in Kuala Lumpur, Wednesday, India has been drawn against Qatar in the first round of the Asia 2012 London Olympic Qualifier. Meanwhile India will take on UAE in the second round of the 2014 World Cup Qualifier.
Having won the Pre-Qualifying round for the London Olympic against Myanmar by a 3-2 aggregate, India now will have to face the formidable gulf side-Qatar in home and away format on June 19 and June 23. Owing to India’s performance lately and with some of the Under -23 boys even doing very well for the senior team, Qatar would be a challengeable side. However, Qatar with a Bye directly qualified for the first round as they are among the top 13 Asian sides.
