Time to leave last year’s tragedy behind

Mohun Bagan were eliminated from the tournament last year due to reasons that were not under their control. The Indian side refused to travel to Iran to play against Tractor FC. The vulnerable security situation led to this decision from Mohun Bagan, which resulted in their unfortunate elimination. It was a major setback for the club as they were ready to showcase their potential on the Asian stage.

The Mariners have secured a return to the continental competition, this time ready to make the most of this opportunity. With some new crucial signings like Robinho and Mehtab Singh, the Jose Molina-led side will be aiming to make their presence felt with a statement performance against Turkmenistan’s Ahal FC.

These ACL 2 fixtures are crucial for India’s club competition ranking. Turkmenistan is marginally above India in the rankings. Mohun Bagan have the opportunity to bridge that gap and push India’s bid for a second direct AFC Champions League 2 slot.

The last time Mohun Bagan featured in a continental competition, they had to exit from the group stage. The Mariners finished below Odisha FC and Bashundhara Kings in Group D in the AFC Cup which is now known as AFC Champions League 2.
