Preview - Group B: Matchday 3
Wuhan: The AFC Women’s Champions League™ 2025/26 knockout stage cast will be finalised with the completion of Group B on Sunday.
Wuhan Jiangda Women’s FC, Bam Khatoon FC, East Bengal FC and PFC Nasaf remain in contention for places in the quarter-finals - setting up a final day full of thrills and spills, with the top two sides to advance automatically.

Venue: Hankou Culture Sports Centre (Wuhan)
Kick-off: Sunday, 15:00 (UTC+8)

Despite knowing the result of the other game could have an impact, East Bengal and Nasaf will need to focus on their own match if they want to stay in the competition.

East Bengal have a slight edge sitting in second spot on three points while Nasaf only have a single point from their stalemate with Wuhan Jiangda.

A draw should seal East Bengal a quarter-final spot as two of the best third-placed sides from the three groups will also advance but the Indian side will head into the game with their confidence having taken a knock after Thursday’s 2-0 defeat to defending champions Wuhan Jiangda.

A different concern will be on the mind of Khan Vladislav as poor finishing has prevented Uzbekistan’s Nasaf from going into the tie in a much stronger position.

Wuhan Jiangda demonstrated in their earlier matches that they remain a force to be reckoned with this season, leading Group B with four points and only needing to avoid defeat against Bam Khatoon to advance.

Yao Wei and Wang Shuang’s return to the playing squad sparked Wuhan Jiangda’s victory against East Bengal, with the latter scoring a brace to highlight her importance to the team.

Head coach Chang Weiwei will demand his team to keep the positive momentum going against Bam Khatoon and conclude the group with another win in front of their fans.

It has been a mixed campaign for Marziyeh Jafari and her Bam Khatoon side, bouncing back from a below par performance against East Bengal to defeat Nasaf.

AFC Coach of the Year (Women) 2025 winner Jafari will be hoping the better Bam Khatoon version shows up on Sunday to get the result they need against the defending champions.
