Several Chennaiyin FC supporters will be making the journey from Chennai to Ahmedabad to show their support, after it was deemed not politically conducive to host a team from Sri Lanka in Tamil Nadu.
Head Coach John Gregory paid tribute to the unconditional support of the fans in what has been a disappointing season so far, with Chennaiyin FC finishing the 2018-19 ISL season bottom of the table.
“We are going to have our fans come all the way from Chennai for the big match against Colombo. And we will do our best to ensure we give them a memorable performance to take back home. It won’t be easy against a confident Colombo side, but we will be up for the occasion,” said Head Coach John Gregory.
There is a lot riding on Chennaiyin FC, who are aiming to become the first ISL side to progress to the group stages, in their maiden AFC Cup campaign, after having booked a qualifying berth by winning the 2017-18 ISL title.
