The squad for the Asian Games will be announced sometime in May or June first week. The focused training will begin in June with a series of internal and external camps. Some international friendly matches with some clubs are also planned on June 8, 11, 26 and 28.


There will be friendly matches also on July 1, 4, 7, 24 and 27.
