All India Football Federation (AIFF) President Praful Patel will be travelling to Doha to cheer for JSW Bengaluru FC as they take on Iraq’s Air Force Club Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya in the AFC Cup Final tomorrow (November 5, 2016).
“#TheDohaDream a day away for @bengalurufc as they set to stride to script history for #IndianFootball. Will be there to cheer the team. #AFCCup” the AIFF President tweeted from his Official Twitter account @praful_patel.
JSW Bengaluru FC became the first Indian Team to reach the final of the AFC Cup when they beat defending champions Johor Darul Ta’zim FC 4-1 on aggregate in the semi-final (home and away format) last month.
The support pouring in for JSW Bengaluru FC, meanwhile has been exemplary. The NRIs in Doha, despite their allegiances to various other Clubs in domestic Indian Football have also joined hands for the support of the first-ever Club to play in an AFC Cup Final.
