After the grand success of the Hero Tri-Nation International Football Tournament in Manipur, it is now time for Bhubaneswar to host the Senior Men's National Team, as it gets ready to hold the Hero Intercontinental Cup in June. The four-team Hero Intercontinental Cup will be played in the FIFA International Window from June 9 to 18, with hosts India being joined by Lebanon, Mongolia and Vanuatu in the tournament. This will be the third edition of the Hero Intercontinental Cup, with the previous two being held in Mumbai (2018) and Ahmedabad (2019).
