The football star who moved from Paris Saint Germain to Al-Hilal after signing a multi-million deal could play at the Balewadi Sports Complex in Pune, which is the home ground for Mumbai City. The 2 teams have been placed in the D group with FC Nassaji Mazadran in Iran and Uzbekistan's PFC Navbahor Namagan.

If Neymar plays, it will be his first game in India. While the group stage will begin on September 18, it is still unknown when the Saudi club will play in India as the final schedule has not been announced.
