Why is Al Ain, the Asian champion of 20 1 1?

Teams participating in the AFC Champions League play-offs include Sporting Burton (India), Alsad (Qatar), Altihad (Syria) and Al Ain (United Arab Emirates) in West Asia, and Sri Vegaya (Indonesia) and Montessori (Thailand) in East Asia. Due to the uneven distribution of teams in the two divisions, the AFC decided on Tuesday to choose another team from West Asia to play in East Asia, and Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates became the West Asian team to enter East Asia.
