East Bengal Set for AFC Champions League 2 Opener Against Al-Hussein

East Bengal are set to embark on their 2026-27 AFC Champions League 2 journey this Wednesday, facing a challenging opening fixture against Jordanian side Al-Hussein.

East Bengal have been drawn into Group D, a competitive pool that also includes Al Shorta SC from Iraq and Oman’s Al Seeb Club, with the top two finishers from the group guaranteed a spot in the knockout stages.
