Indian Women’s League champion Eastern Bengal will try to continue his purple patch under coach Anthony Andrews while on Sunday it is opposite Kitchee from Hong Kong in their provisional Tour of the AFC Women’s Champions League.
East Bengal, which won the top of the first flight of ladies this year, started the provisional round with a 1-0 win over Cambodian champion Phnom Penh Crownn in their opening, with Fazila Ikwaput the winner scored.
The Moshal Girls made a series of signing sessions this summer and hope to follow Odisha FC – last season it reached the Champions League group phase – as the second Indian side to reach the most important tournament.
How can East Bengal qualify for the AFC Women’s Champions League?
Eastern Bengal is drawn with Phnom Penh Crown and Kitchee in the provisional phase.
In the second group phase match, Phnom Penh Crown dropped points against Kitchee in a 3-3 draw, giving East Bengal an advantage.
Here is how East Bengal can now be eligible for the group stage of the AFC Women’s Champions League:
If East Bangs draws/wins:
The silk -based side is eligible, regardless of what happens in the other groups.
If East Bangs Loses:
East Bengal will have to wait for the results in the other four groups to determine whether it ends as the best second place among all second teams placed. Only in such a case, East Bengal will then seal a place in the group phase.
