Indian club Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MB SG) has been drawn alongside Al-Wakrah SC of Qatar, Tractor FC of Iran, and FC Ravshan of Tajikistan in Group A of the 2024-25 AFC Champions League Two. The draw was held at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur.

MB SG qualified for the newly-rebranded second-tier men's AFC club competition by winning the 2023-24 Indian Super League Shield. The Mariners finished third in the 2023-24 AFC Cup Group Stage and failed to qualify for the knockout stage.

Al-Wakrah SC qualified for the Champions League Two by finishing fourth in the 2023-24 Qatar Stars League. This will be the Qatari side's first appearance in Asia since the 2001-02 Asian Club Championship.

Iranian side Tractor FC also qualified with a fourth-place finish in the 2023-24 Persian Gulf Pro League. They have twice reached the Round of 16 of the erstwhile AFC Champions League in 2021 and 2016.

FC Ravshan booked their spot in the tournament as the runners-up of the 2023 Tajikistan Higher League. The side from Kulob has made four appearances in the AFC Cup but never managed to progress from the group stage.

The Champions League Two features 32 clubs divided into eight groups – four West, four East – of four teams each for the group stage, which will be played in a home-and-away round-robin format from September 17 to December 5.

The top two finishers from each group will advance to the Round of 16, to be played in February 2025. This will be followed by the quarter-finals in March and semi-finals in April, before the tournament culminates in a single-leg final on May 17 next year.

East Bengal FC, the other club representing India in the 2024-25 AFC club competitions by virtue of being the 2024 Kalinga Super Cup champions, lost their Champions League Two qualifying round match to FC Altyn Asyr on Wednesday. They will feature in the 2024-25 AFC Challenge League (third-tier) Group Stage, the draw for which will be conducted on August 22.
