2013165438+1On the afternoon of October 27th, a series of important resolutions were adopted and implemented at the year-end meeting held by AFC's Kuala Lumpur headquarters. Two new regulations closely related to China are not good news.
In the 20 14 AFC Champions League quota allocation scheme, the Super League has changed from 4 quotas this year to 3 official quotas and 1 play-offs. At the same time, in the next three years, the AFC Champions League will implement the East-West Division Competition System.
In other words, East and West Asian teams can only play in their own half, and will not meet before the final. If Guangzhou Evergrande wants to defend its title next year, it must first go shopping with Korean, Japanese and Australian teams.
Previously, the rules of the AFC Champions League were 1/4 before the final, and the opponents were decided by drawing lots after the AFC Champions League 1/4 final was decided.
This time, Sack, the chairman of the AFC Competition Committee, drew up and submitted a proposal: from the qualifying round starting from February 20 14 to the semi-finals, East and West Asia will be strictly divided, and eventually there will be a team from East and West Asia in the final.
Sakr's reason is that due to the different competition systems of the East-West Asian League, the West Asian League is a cross-year competition system, and the AFC Champions League knockout in August and September every year has a great influence on the West Asian teams.
