^ Note 1 : Originally, Mohun Bagan , the 2019–20 I-League champions (they were already assured of the title before the league was abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India ), would qualify as India 2 (2021 AFC Cup group stage), and ATK , the 2019–20 Indian Super League playoffs winners, would qualify as India 3 (2021 AFC Cup qualifying play-offs).[ 35] However, ATK owners KGSPL ceased their football operation and bought majority stakes in Mohun Bagan FC (India) Private Limited and rebranded Mohun Bagan football team as ATK Mohun Bagan FC from the 2020–21 Indian Super League season which qualified as India 2 in 2021 AFC club competition. The All India Football Federation decided that Bengaluru FC , the 2019–20 Indian Super League regular season 3rd place (behind FC Goa , which qualified for the 2021 AFC Champions League , and ATK), will qualify as India 3.[ 36]
