India will play Puerto Rico for the first time in an International Football friendly on Saturday, September 3, at the Andheri Sports Complex in Mumbai. India is scheduled to play in the third round of the Asian Cup qualifiers in March next year and Saturday’s match is seen as the first step towards preparation for the continental event. The match is scheduled to start at 8 pm IST.
“We are very motivated to play against a side ranked 114. If you want to go higher it’s important that you play against stronger sides,” said British coach Stephen Constantine before the game. “I would rather lose 4-0 to Iran than win 3-0 against a weaker nation.
“There will be no change to our approach. We will play the same manner we played against Iran. We will play attacking football.”
