East Bengal v 4.25 SC: Confirmed lineups and pre-match updates for AFC Women’s Champions League group stage, 7 November 2026

East Bengal face 4.25 SC at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan on Saturday, 7 November 2026, in their final 2026-27 AFC Women’s Champions League group-stage fixture. The Moshal Girls require a positive result against the North Korean side to bolster their chances of progressing to the knockout rounds.

East Bengal’s campaign has produced contrasting results: they won their opening match but then lost to KSPO FC in their most recent outing. The team already have enough points to qualify for the quarterfinals as one of the two best third-placed teams, but Anthony Andrews has signalled his squad cannot rely solely on that route. Andrews will press for a return to “innovative, fast-paced attacking football” while insisting his players must “maintain a much stronger defensive shape” than in recent matches to produce a positive result.

4.25 SC arrive having drawn attention in their debut AFC Women’s Champions League campaign, bringing a side that the article describes as having “dominated the domestic scene for many years.” The North Korean club, which fields numerous members of the North Korea women’s team, has already advanced to the quarterfinals and is unlikely to take East Bengal lightly. Their approach is expected to emphasise incisive attacking play and ruthlessness in the final third, with a big win viewed as a way to strengthen momentum heading into the knockout rounds.

Both squads enter the match without notable injury concerns, with the piece stating that Andrews should have a fully fit East Bengal unit available and that 4.25 SC are also “not dealing with any notable injuries.” This fixture will be the first competitive meeting between East Bengal and 4.25 SC.
