ATK Mohun Bagan, which is in Group D with Bashundhara Kings (BAN), Maziya Sports & Recreation (MDV) and the winner of the South Zone Play-off, will play its AFC Cup 2021 group games in Maldives.
Centralised venues for nine of the 10 groups in the 2021 AFC Cup, the Asian Football Confederation’s second-tier club competition, were announced on Monday after a one-year hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Jordanian capital Amman and Singapore will both host two groups each. Manama in Bahrain, Male in the Maldives as well as Dushanbe in Tajikistan, Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan and Hong Kong will also serve as venues for a group each when the competition returns in April.
According to Maldivian media, AFC are likely to stage one legged playoffs, with the higher ranked association given the rights to host the match. This means Bengaluru won't have to worry about going abroad just yet.
