I don't think that's the case . On the basis of what's happening now , I think MB made the right decision . You really cannot predict Israel's counter measures . They would've retaliated and that could've caused some ugly scenes . I think definitely some government agencies must have warned MB because no one saw this coming .
Mohun Bagan disqualified and banned for 4 years by AFC for failing to show up in Iran and causing a loss of 7 Cr to afc
In accordance with Article 5.2 of the AFC Champions League Two™ 2024/25 Competition Regulations (the “Competition Regulations”), the Asian Football Confederation (the “AFC”) confirms that India’s Mohun Bagan Super Giant are considered to have withdrawn from the AFC Champions League Two™ competition after the club failed to report to Tabriz, Islamic Republic of Iran, for their AFC Champions League Two™ Group A fixture against Tractor FC on October 2, 2024.
Consequently, all matches played by Mohun Bagan Super Giant are cancelled and considered null and void in accordance with Article 5.6 of the Competition Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, no points and goals in the club’s matches shall be taken into consideration when determining the final rankings in Group A pursuant to Article 8.3 of the Competition Regulations.
The matter will now be referred to the relevant AFC Committee(s) as appropriate for their decision(s).
