AFC Champions League Two: East Bengal FC have been drawn alongside Nejmeh SC (Lebanon), Bashundhara Kings (Bangladesh) and Paro FC (Bhutan) in Group A of the 2024-25 AFC Challenge League in the draw conducted at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Thursday.

There are five groups in the Group Stage – three comprising four teams from the West each and two involving three teams from the East each – that is set to be played over three matchdays between October 26 and November 2, with each group taking place in a centralised location in a single round-robin format. Group A will be hosted by Paro FC at the Changlimithang Stadium in Thimphu.

East Bengal FC qualified for the third tier of men's AFC club competitions by winning the 2024 Kalinga Super Cup. The Red and Gold Brigade contested the AFC Champions League Two qualifying round on August 14 but the 2-3 defeat to Altyn Asyr FC (Turkmenistan) meant that they will now feature in the AFC Challenge League.
