This year in the Group Stage, Three Star remained unbeaten and finished on top of the four-team group to advance to the finals that sets them up against Turkmenistan’s Balkan and renews Group Stage rivalries with Erchim of Mongolia.“This is really a good experience to be back in the AFC President’s Cup after a long absence and is the most exciting moment for us to be in the finals,” said Three Star head coach Pradip Humagai.
“We will play our games to win and we will try to make this comeback a momentous one for Three Star Club. “We have been training especially hard for three months for this competition. We look forward to meeting the other teams.”
Skipper Santosh Shahukhala was on the team when Three Star made their maiden appearance in the inaugural edition and is setting his sights on no less than the silverware.
“”It feels so good to be back in the President’s Cup after eight years. We lost in the semi-finals back in 2005 and this time we will bring back the title.”They will kick off their campaign against Balkan on Monday at the Hang Jebat Stadium, Melaka, a neutral venue, before locking horns with Erchim of Mongolia, whom they beat 2-0 in the Group Stage, three days later.
