Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium

NEW DELHI: Former I-League champions Minerva Punjab FC will play its remaining two AFC Cup home matches – against Chennaiyin FC on June 19 and Abahani Dhaka on June 26 – at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati.

Minerva were also in talks with the Sports Authority of India for the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi and with the West Bengal state government for the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata, but exorbitant rents were a dampener for the Chandigarh-based side.
