Five-time Bangladesh Premier League champions Bashundhara Kings will start their campaign in the maiden edition of the AFC Challenge League against Lebanon鈥檚 Nejmeh Sporting Club in Thimphu, Bhutan, on October 26.

In the other two matches of Group-A, Kings will face India鈥檚 East Bengal Football Club and Paro Football Club of Bhutan on October 29 and November 1, respectively.


The Asian Football Confederation on Sunday finalised the fixtures of Asia鈥檚 third-tier club competition without confirming the venues.

It will be the first international engagement of Kings under the tutelage of Romanian coach Valeriu Tita, who joined the club for one-year in July soon after Spanish coach Oscar Bruzon left the club on July after his six-year stint with the cash-rich outfit.
