@DEFENCE123 stop talking bullshit Rohit Ramesh has no control on that stadium or CCFC will be playing there, they were kicked out there city by imgr so prevent any competition to CFC, now aunty has booked JLN stadium and she won't allow any tournament there other then ISL even if it's is AFC cup.

Money factor looks unlikely as they are supposedly paying for ISL matches. I dont think suddenly they cant afford to pay for 1 AFC Cup qualifier at JLN Chennai.

@goalkeepar Do some research before talking. Local CFA games are going to be played there in March so Rohit ramesh has booked the stadium

Rohit Ramesh doesn't own the stadium. CFL games will be played at 2 pm but they will play by paying rent to FSDL(aunty)

Ramesh is CFA president and CFA League is already booked for 2 months once ISL gets over so Chennai won't be allowed

CFa league has 3-5 games everday on thr ground and turf gets destroyed in 2-3 days

AFC Cup 2019: Minerva Punjab to play from Bhubaneshwar

I-League champions Minerva Punjab are likely to play their continental home matches at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneshwar.

It was previously touted that Minerva would play at the TranStadia Arena in Ahmedabad but recent developments have seen the Chandigarh-based side receive a green signal from AFC (Asian Football Confederation) to play at the renovated Kalinga Stadium.

"Yes we will be using Kalinga. Hopefully that will give us great home advantage. We will start camping there by the end of February or definitely by the end of March to make the most of home advantage," said Minerva Punjab owner Ranjit Bajaj.

CFC has blocked Minerva from playing in The Arena so they can be the only club.

Is Ahmedabad Arena even fit for AFC competitions? Churchill brothers used to play in Pune as Tilak Maidan, Duler were unrecognised. Aizawl had to play at Guwahati.

I have doubt over Chennai team coming to Ahmedabad too.
