ATKMB were scheduled to leave for Maldives on Monday but that plan stands cancelled after the AFC's announcement, which did not specify why the games were being postponed.
"The AFC Cup (South) Group Stage matches are now postponed until further notice," the AFC said in a statement without giving any reasons. "The AFC is in contact with all other participating clubs and officials who have not entered the Maldives to cancel their travel arrangements." ATKMB were earlier scheduled to open their campaign on May 14. Captain Roy Krishna was supposed to directly reach Maldives from Fiji before the opening match.
