Indian football clubs in Asian competitions

Indian football clubs have entered Asian association football competitions (AFC Champions League and AFC Cup) since the 1900s. The Asian Champion Club Tournament started in 1967, but there was no India representative during that inaugural season. Indian teams have participated every year in Asia, except for the early years between the 1990s and early 2000s.

gollark: * instead of sqlite
gollark: Come to think of it, I *could* use postgres instead of nginx for this.
gollark: Imagine the potential for analysis of osmarks.tk trends.

gollark: Vaguely.
