The Super League has 2+2 places in the 20 18 AFC Champions League, namely 2 direct finals and 2 qualifiers. According to the regulations, the winners of the Super League and the FA Cup will be directly selected for the AFC Champions Group, and the runners-up of the Super League and the third runner-up will participate in the qualifiers. If the FA Cup champion wins the AFC Champions League qualification through league ranking, then the fourth place in the Super League can also make up for the AFC Champions League.
As Shanghai Shenhua Football Association Cup won the championship, Evergrande and Shenhua directly entered the AFC Champions League, while Shanghai and Quanjian's runner-up and runner-up respectively qualified for the qualifiers, and Huaxia, the fourth in the league, missed the AFC Champions League next season.
When Huaxia Happiness entered the Super League, it was ambitious and made great efforts in club building and player introduction. This season, they also aim to enter the AFC Champions League. In fact, in this season's Super League, Huaxia Happiness has certain advantages at the end of the league. Unfortunately, it was defeated in the competition with its competitor Tianjin Quanjian and gave the initiative to the opponent. With Shanghai Shenhua winning the FA Cup, Huaxia Happiness officially missed the AFC Champions League next season.
I hope that next season, Huaxia Happiness can take the initiative in its own hands.
