MSC, Brothers play AFC Cup ties Tuesday


Local giants Mohammedan Sporting Club and Brothers Union will be engaged in international commitment when they play home and away matches in the AFC Cup on Tuesday.

National League champions Mohammedan leave Dhaka today for Jordan to play their opening Group C match against Al Wihdat. This is the only group where two teams are competing for a berth in the quarterfinals.

It would be Wihdat's debut in the continental competitions after winning the league title nine times including back-to-back victories in 2004 and 2005.

In Group A, Federation Cup and Dhaka League winners Brothers host Al Ahed of Lebanon at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.

Brothers, bottom of the four-team group with one point, lost to Bahrain's Al Muharraq 2-0 in the opener and drew 2-2 with India's Mahindra United at home last month.

The Lebanese club are expected to arrive in Dhaka today.
