@ArsenalFan700 ; The expansion of the FIFA World Cup to 48 teams is just to appease China-led faction that includes lower ranked UEFA nations. AFC is just a small fry in comparison to them
@7negi More to it re.... millions of dollars in question. I doubt even Mr Patel's ascension to Senior VP can stem its tide
Its a shame. Indian clubs have done really well in recent AFC championships yet they have to play preliminary stage with SA clubs and again battle it out in the play-offs.. All with a team which qualified in the finals in AFC cup.
Moving BFC into West Zone was totally asshole decision, It is challenge for BFC, I guess BFC can better their record by beating Al-Wehdat(Jordan) in PS 2 and qualify for play off round then face Al-Wahda(UAE)
Iraq,Syria , lebanon, and Kuwait and Indonesia will not be participating in the AFC ACL 21017 due Licence and Suspension and no entry.
Good thing about India in Westzone, they dont have to play PS1(at Kanteerava), then face Sukhothai(Thailand) and Shangai SIPG(China).
