Mohun Bagan Removed from AFC Champions League 2 Over Iran Non-Travel

The Indian club faces expulsion after refusing to play in Iran due to security concerns, prompting potential legal action.

Mohun Bagan Super Giant decided not to travel to Iran for their scheduled match against Tractor FC, citing player safety amid regional tensions.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) ruled that Mohun Bagan's failure to appear constitutes a withdrawal from the competition.
All matches played by Mohun Bagan in the tournament are now nullified, affecting the standings in Group A.
The club is considering legal action against the AFC's decision, arguing the ruling is one-sided.
Mohun Bagan had requested the match be rescheduled or moved to a neutral venue, but their appeals were unsuccessful.
