AFC Cup edit
The AFC Cup is an annual continental club football competition organised by the Asian Football Confederation, started in 2004. The competition is played primarily between clubs from nations that did not receive direct qualifying slots in the top-tier AFC Champions League, based on the AFC Club Competitions Ranking. In India, the winners of the Federation Cup and the I-League received direct entries into the tournament. Since the Federation Cup was abolished in 2017, the slot was given to the play-off winners of the Indian Super League. East Bengal has participated eight times in the tournament, reaching the knockout stages twice including a semi-final appearance in 2013.[29]
2004 AFC Cup edit
East Bengal qualified for the 2004 AFC Cup after winning the 2002–03 National Football League and was placed in Group E alongside Geylang United of Singapore, Negeri Sembilan of Malaysia and Island of Maldives. East Bengal began their campaign on a terrific note as they won all of their first four matches in the group stages and confirmed their place in the quarter-finals. They set a record of winning eight consecutive matches against foreign opposition, the most by any Indian team, bettering their own record of five wins, back in the Coca-Cola Cup.[35] East Bengal also thus became the first Indian team to qualify for AFC Cup knockout stages,[36] where they faced the eventual finalist Al-Jaish of Syria. In the first leg at home, East Bengal held the Syrian champions to a goalless draw,[37] however, the Syrian team won 3–0 at home and East Bengal were eliminated from the tournament.[15]
