India, Aug. 12 -- The stage is set for a continental showdown, as East Bengal welcome Al-Arabi FC to their home turf for an AFC Champions League Two qualifier. The winners of this knockout clash will go into the group stage of the second-tier Asian tournament. The Salt Lake Stadium is all decked up in Red and Gold, as East Bengal fans are excited to see their favourite team back on the continental stage.
