An overt fact, Bengaluru FC is the only Indian club to play in back-to-back semifinals. The only Indian entrants in semifinals of the continental competition have been East Bengal, Dempo SC and Bengaluru FC.

While the other two made only once into it, Bengaluru FC have created records by making the semifinals twice in a row. A much discernible fact for the fast growing Indian Football Community.

Bengaluru FC made their entry into the finals of AFC Cup last year after displaying a stunning performance against 2015 champions Johor Darul Takzim. In the final, they faced Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya. However, the Iraqi club never gave Bengaluru a chance to score as they clinched the much-coveted cup.
