We will not be knowing until we face likes of Bahrain, Lebanon or Jordan clubs... But in past, we have defeated them... Please don't share results where we have done bad...Have considered only top performers for India (year wise).
In 2008, Dempo done good against Bahrain, Lebanon and Oman clubs (finished 2nd) and E.B won against Jordan club... 2009, Dempo done good against Bahrain, Lebanon and Jordan clubs (finished 2nd in group stage) 2010, Churchill qualified from group B. However they haven't faced any of Bahrain, Lebanon and Jordan clubs. But earned a point at home against Al-Kuwait 2011, Dempo defeated Al-Ansar (Lebanon club) at home and finished 2nd in group 2012, Salgoacar lost both the ties against Jordan club, both won home tie against Oman club.. 2013, Due to format change, E.B haven't faced any of the Bahrain, Lebanon and Jordan clubs Same with Churchill in 2014 and Bengaluru in 2015..
Regarding format change, only in 2016 , teams from East & West Zone cannot face till final.. But in 2013, 2014 & 2015, format is different and we could have faced Bahrain, Lebanon and Jordan clubs...but haven't faced any of them...
Yeah it was pre-ISL days. Our I-League clubs were much stronger in those days. Young Ranty, Beto, Odafa. Two leagues have literally weakened the clubs. At that time also, we were not like winning the Groups. In last few years, we have not faced Arab clubs. Neither Indian nor East Asian clubs are at the level of Arab clubs. East Asian zone is the weakest in my memory this time. Indonesia is banned (Persipura Jayapura) and Thailand, Vietnam clubs are upgraded to ACL and no longer feature in AFC Cup. With the absence of Kuwait clubs, it is straight Finals between JDT and either Al-Ahed or Al Muharraq.
Final venue is decided by draw during quarter final draw. final venue - West semifinal winner will host the final Air force club Iraq wins means it will be Doha, Qatar Al Ahed FC wins means it will be in Beirut, Lebanon
Al Ahed FC is upper like BFC, They drew 1-1 against Airforce and next they have home game.
Sorry, Ignore my previous message. That was score from half time. FT - Al Ahed 2-3 Air force Club over turned in the second half. Air force club Irag progressed with 3-4 Aggregate.
By this over turn my BFC history is getting doomed ... :P
