Today, the AFC officially announced the time of the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals, which is June 6th 16:00 Beijing time. The draw for the quarter-finals continues to be divided into East Asia and West Asia, and there is no principle of avoiding the same country.
The four teams in East Asia are Guangzhou Evergrande (China), Shanghai Shanggang (China), Urawa Red Diamond (Japan) and Kawasaki Forward (Japan), and the four teams in West Asia are Persepolis (Iran), Ain (United Arab Emirates), Jeddah National (Saudi Arabia) and Riyadh Crescent (Saudi Arabia).
According to the usual practice, AFC Champions League will enter a relatively long halftime after the elimination of 16, and the quarter-finals will rekindle the war in August. Because the lottery does not implement the avoidance of the same country, there will be a 50% probability of staging the Chinese Derby and the Japanese Civil War.
