Sports News: There is no improvement in the condition of Indian football at the moment, but there is no decrease in the love for this game in the country. Football fans are constantly increasing in India, in which there is no shortage of those who watch European football. This is the reason why many big football stars are also coming to India now. Lionel Messi is scheduled to visit at the end of 2025 and now the hopes of Cristiano Ronaldo coming to India have increased. That too for a big tournament, in which Ronaldo’s team will face star cricketer Virat Kohli’s team. Yes, this is going to happen because Ronaldo’s club, Al Nasr, and India’s FC Goa have been placed in the same group in the AFC Champions League.
On Friday, August 15, the AFC announced the teams of the four groups of Asian Champions League-2. FC Goa, which plays in the Indian Super League, is also participating in this tournament from India. It was the wish of the fans that Ronaldo’s team Al Nasr and FC Goa should be placed in the same group so that they get a chance to see this Portuguese superstar playing in India for the first time. This wish of Indian fans has also been fulfilled.
Both clubs in the same group
The draws for the AFC Champions League and Champions League-2 were held in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, in which Saudi Arabian club Al Nasr and FC Goa have been placed together in Group D. Along with Al Nasr, which plays in the Saudi Pro League, and FC Goa, which is a part of the ISL, Iraq’s Al Jarwa and Tajikistan’s Istiklol Dushanbe have also been included in this group.
According to the format of this tournament, every team in a group will play 2-2 matches with all the other teams, out of which one match will be played on its home ground and the other on the opponent team’s ground. In this way, one match between FC Goa and Al Nasr will be in Saudi Arabia, while the other match will be in Goa. This means that Ronaldo’s club will have to come to India and Indian fans are very excited about this.
Kohli is also the owner of FC Goa
Let us tell you that Team India’s superstar Virat Kohli is the co-owner of FC Goa. Kohli also calls himself a big fan of Ronaldo and that is why Indian fans of both the stars are very excited about it. The schedule of this tournament has not been announced yet. However, one question will still remain in the minds of the fans: whether Ronaldo will come to participate in the match to be held in India or whether he will only play in his home match. This decision will be taken in the coming time. At present, Indian fans are just waiting with hope.
