ACL Two: Mohun Bagan host Ahal FK to kick-off their ACL Two 2025-26 journey – The much-awaited stage is finally set for the Mariners to make a mark in the continental stage. Having crashed out of the Durand Cup much early than anticipated, Mohun Bagan have a point proof as they are ready to start a fresh chapter in the ACL Two. They will host Ahal FK tomorrow at the iconic Salt Lake stadium.
In the pre match press conference, Mohun Bagan head coach, Jose Molina remained fully confident on his players to come out of the match with all three points. However, the Spanish tactician was seemed to be fully aware of threats that the Turkmenistan possess. In the pre match training, the main attention was on the newly signed Brazilian, Robson Robinho who looked sharp on his movements but lacked in overall fitness.
Meanwhile, the head coach of Ahal FK made a bold claim, saying the side would only settle for a win nothing less. ” We came to India, knowing everything about Mohun Bagan. Our players are really excited to play in front of the crowd and make them go silent. ”
Mohun Bagan is coming to the game having played only one friendly in the last two-three weeks. The preparation was given a full priority as the club decided not to release their players for the national team squad who went to play the CAFA Nations Cup 2025. It remains to be seen how the new additions jell up with each other in a competitive game and the stake would be much higher than Asian Champions League Two. The match will start at 7.15 PM IST at the iconic Salt Lake Stadium with more than 40000 spectators expected to turn up and support the home side.
