AFC Champions League draw 65438+1October 27th! The promotion rules have changed a lot: only three teams are qualified to win the second place.

In fact, before the Japanese Emperor Cup final, the list of 202 1 AFC Champions League teams had been released. According to the plan of AFC, the group draw ceremony will be held on June 27th, 65438. After the expansion, there are five groups in East Asia, and only the top three groups with the best results can advance to the knockout stage.

In the 20021season, the AFC Champions League will be expanded to 40 teams, with 20 teams in East Asia and 5 teams in West Asia. The number of AFC Champions League places in the Super League is still 3+ 1, that is, Suning, Evergrande and Luneng will participate, and Guoan will enter the preliminaries. Japan's J League is also 3+ 1, and South Korea's K League is 2+2.

After all the participating teams are released, the AFC will hold a group draw ceremony on June 27, 65438, which is also the latest group draw ceremony in the history of AFC Champions League.

Due to the expansion of teams in East Asia to five teams, the rules of qualifying have also changed. There is no doubt that the top five teams will advance, but only three teams in the second group can qualify, that is, the three teams with the best results are second and the other two teams are second.

For Chinese Super League teams, the new qualifying rules increase the difficulty of promotion, especially in the case of poor performance of AFC Champions League and Chinese Super League teams in the 2020 season. How many teams can advance in AFC Champions League and Super League in 20021season?
