Note the AFC Cup final will be hosted by the West Zone winner, so in either Oman or Lebanon/Iraq. Final is scheduled for 5th May, weekend of ALM Elimination finals. So hopefully that weekend it's the Nix players feet up resting, whilst the Mariners fly all the way to the Middle East.
If CCM can pull off double of winning ALM Grand final & AFC Cup - much respect it won't have been an easy journey!
The Kyrgyz FA are certainly helping their opponents Abdysh-Ata. They ain't playing any Kyrgyz league games during this 2 legged H&A AFC Cup tie. So keeping rested. Meanwhile the Mariners are playing 2 ALM games in the same period.
