AFC Champions League Elite

edit

The AFC Champions League Elite (previously known as the AFC Cup, abbreviated as the ACL Two) is an annual continental club football competition organised by the Asian Football Confederation. Introduced in 1967 as the Asian Club Championship, the competition rebranded and took its name as AFC Champions League in 2002 as a result of the merger between the Asian Club Championship, the Asian Cup Winners' Cup and the Asian Super Cup. In 2024, the competition was rebranded and took its current name, AFC Champions League Elite. Mohun Bagan took part in the competition seven times (1987, 1988–89, 1994–95, 1995, 1999–00, 2002–03 and 2016), and went up to Semi-final round in 1988–89 with Sisir Ghosh's brilliance. Mohun Bagan's performance in 2016 AFC Champions League stands out as the only win by an Indian club in the preliminary stages.[27]
