Indian Super League (ISL) side FC Goa are all set to make their debut in the AFC Champions League (ACL) this year.
The Gaurs had earned the right to represent India at the AFC Champions League after they won the Indian Super League (ISL) League Winners Shield in the 2019-20 season. They are also the first-ever Indian club to take part in the biggest club competition in Asia.
FC Goa have been placed in Group E of the competition alongside Persian Pro League 2019-20 champions Persepolis FC and Qatar Stars League 2019-20 runners-up Al Rayyan. The fourth team will be the winner of Al-Wahda (UAE) vs Al-Zawraa (Iraq) from the play-offs West Asian round.
Goa has been awarded the right to host all the Group E matches of the AFC Champions League but they will be played behind closed doors owing to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
In the 2020-21 ISL season, FC Goa finished fourth on the league table and were ousted from the play-offs after losing to eventual champions Mumbai City FC in a penalty shoot-out.
Here's how you can watch all the ACL action.
