New Delhi, Sept. 20 -- The Indian men's futsal team will begin only their second-ever AFC Futsal Asian Cup Qualifiers campaign against hosts Kuwait in Group A at the Qushaian Al-Mutairi Hall in Ardiya on Saturday, as per the AIFF website.

The 14-member Futsal Tigers squad arrived in Kuwait on September 16 after playing two friendly matches in Lebanon against the hosts. While India lost both games (2-7 and 4-7), head coach Reza Kordi, who hails from Iran, believed that it was more about gaining international match experience than the results.

"In my philosophy, we never lose," said Kordi. "Sometimes we win, sometimes we learn. We learned a lot from our matches against Lebanon."
