Afc is truly socialist fed ,I wish something like this could be done for Asia champions league so India could play group stage

One advantage Thimphu gets is their Atlitude. It is like 2300 meters above sea level. Teams like Mexico and Bolivia use this advantage in Home and Away format. Teams like Bangladesh should have come earlier to acclimatize themselves.

Height, plus the match was played on artificial turf, which Bangla team is not accustomed.
