FC Goa are set for a blockbuster clash against Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr in this season's AFC Champions League Two - Asia's second-tier continental club competition.
Both sides have been drawn together in Group D of the West Region, alongside Al Zawraa and FC Istiklol. The Gaurs secured their place in the group stage after defeating Al Seeb in the qualifiers, and will now be aiming to make their mark on the Asian stage.

FC Goa's upcoming meetings with Al Nassr in the AFC Champions League Two group stages promise to be among the most high-profile fixtures in Indian club football this season.
With superstar Cristiano Ronaldo leading the Saudi Arabian side, the anticipation is immense not only among FC Goa supporters but also the wider Indian football community. Both teams will face each other twice - once in Goa and once in Riyadh - as part of the home-and-away format used for the group stages.
Given the competitive nature and prestige associated with continental club tournaments, Al Nassr is expected to approach these fixtures with full seriousness, especially as they seek to advance to the knockout rounds. Cristiano Ronaldo, known for his professionalism and ambition in every competition he participates in, has featured in AFC club matches since joining Al Nassr. Unless sidelined by injury, club scheduling conflicts, or possible squad rotation, it is highly likely that Ronaldo will travel to Goa for the away fixture.
Such an event would mark a significant milestone for Indian football - bringing one of the sport's global icons to play on Indian soil in an official continental competition.
