2) Indian football clubs in Asia

The AFC Champions League started its modern incarnation in 2002-03. Since then, Indian clubs have failed to make it to the main stages of the competition. However, they have fared better in the AFC Cup.

The earliest success was enjoyed by East Bengal when they made the quarter finals in 2004. The erstwhile Mahindra United emulated them ion 2007.

Dempo did one better by making the semi-finals in 2008. East Bengal too achieved the same in 2013. Of course, Bengaluru FC have done better than all of them.
