Announced in December 2022 and with the names confirmed in August 2023, the brand new quartet of Asian club competitions will also see the AFC allocate its biggest investment with clubs from the Participating Member Associations poised to benefit from increases in participation fees, prize money and travel expenses.
The ACL Two will comprise 32 teams, with two divisions East and West. Mohun Bagan will represent India in the West Zone poised with big clubs like Al Ittihad, FC Nasaf, AL Taawon, Al Rayyan and many others. It is going to be an interesting outing for the Indian Club.
