The ASEAN Cup win in 2003 is one of the greatest achievements in the history of East Bengal club…
East Bengal’s triumph in the ASEAN Club Championship in 2003 is considered to be one of the greatest achievements by an Indian club at the international stage.
The Kolkata giants under the tutelage of Subhash Bhowmick did the unthinkable at Jakarta, beating some of the top clubs of the ASEAN region at that time.
Just to add a little more gravity to their achievement, the Red and Golds had outclassed Thailand’s BEC Tero Sasana club who had finished runners-up in the 2002-03 season of the AFC Champions League.
