Besides collecting a trophy and prize money, the Club World Cup will pit the winners of the AFC Champions League against the continental champions of North America, Africa, Europe, Oceania, and South America. Many teams aspire to win the tournament for this reason. We&#8217;ll go over all you need to know about the AFC Champions League today.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>What Is The AFC Champions League?<\/b><\/h2><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5751\" src=\"https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AFC-Champions-League-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"AFC Champions League\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AFC-Champions-League-1-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AFC-Champions-League-1-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AFC-Champions-League-1-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AFC-Champions-League-1-2-267x150.jpg 267w, https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AFC-Champions-League-1-2-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The AFC Champions League (ACL) is a continental club football competition taking place annually for Asia&#8217;s best teams. It is Asia&#8217;s most prestigious club competition, with national league champions (and, in certain circumstances, one or more runners-up) representing their respective national organizations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the Asian Cup Winners&#8217; Cup, Asian Super Cup, and Asian Club Championship were amalgamated in 2002, the Asian Champion Club Tournament was renamed.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">40 clubs are competing in the round-robin group stage of the competition. Teams from Asia&#8217;s top leagues are automatically invited, although clubs from lower-ranked nations must play in AFC Cup qualifying. The AFC Champions League victor progresses to the FIFA Club World Cup.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Tournament History<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Asian Champion Club Tournament, a tournament for AFC champions, commenced in 1967 and featured a variety of formats, with the first edition being a direct knockout format and the three following editions incorporating a group stage. The AFC was forced to cancel the 1972 edition because two Arab clubs refused to agree to play against Israeli side Maccabi Netanya. Israel was therefore expelled from the association.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1985, the Asian Club Championship, Asia&#8217;s premier club tournament, returned. The Asian Football Confederation established the Asian Cup Winners&#8217; Cup in 1990 as a competition for the cup winners of each AFC country. The Asian Super Cup was established in 1995 to match the winners of the Asian Cup Winners&#8217; Cup and Asian Club Championship.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The\u00a0 Asian Super Cup, Asian Cup Winners&#8217; Cup, and Asian Club Championship came together to form the AFC Champions League in 2002\u201303. The best eight West Asian clubs and the best eight East Asian teams would advance to the group stage, with league and cup winners preparing for the qualification playoffs. After beating BEC Tero Sasana 2\u20131 on aggregate, Al-Ain became the first team to win the AFC Champions League. In 2004, 29 clubs from 14 countries competed, and the event was moved from March to November.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the semi-finals, quarter-finals, and finals, a two-legged format was employed, with tie-breakers being away goals, penalties, and extra time. The top seven teams from each group, as well as the defending champions, advanced to the quarterfinals. A two-legged format was utilized for the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals, with away goals, extra time, and penalties used as tie-breakers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2009, the Champions League was increased to 32 clubs, with direct entrance into the top ten Asian divisions. Each country received up to four slots based on the strength of their division, professional league system, marketability, financial position, and other criteria established by the AFC Pro-League Committee, however, no more than one-third of the number of teams in their highest division was rounded downwards.<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6961\" src=\"https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AFC-Champions-E.jpg\" alt=\"AFC Champions\" width=\"602\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AFC-Champions-E.jpg 602w, https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AFC-Champions-E-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AFC-Champions-E-266x150.jpg 266w, https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/AFC-Champions-E-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c4c05aa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c4c05aa\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b22c45b\" data-id=\"b22c45b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6356362 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6356362\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/https:\/\/go.worldcupfootball.bet\/\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"bet-now\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Bet Now<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3387d14 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3387d14\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-27a4dd7\" data-id=\"27a4dd7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eef80bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eef80bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The group stage was enlarged from 32 to 40 teams in 2021, with five groups comprising four teams in each of the West and East Regions. By 2021, the Iranian side&#8217;s problems had attracted public attention. English-language and International Arabic media have documented infringement of women&#8217;s rights in Iranian stadiums. Furthermore, the Iranian government barred Iranian women from football stadiums for nearly 40 years. In 2019, Iranian stadiums permitted women to watch football for the first time, but not during ACL games. FIFA had already pressed Iran to allow women inside ACL stadiums. Iran gave in, but only for a limited number of women to see the 2018 World Cup final. AFC investigated the subject in 2021, to allow unlimited attendance whenever Iranian clubs are involved.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>Format<\/b><\/h2><h3><b>Qualification<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 2021 season, the AFC Champions League debuted with a forty-team double round-robin group phase, which was followed by qualification matches for clubs that did not receive a direct entry. To go through the competition separately, teams are divided into west and east zones.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The AFC Competitions Committee determines the number of clubs that each organization enters in the AFC Champions League on an annual basis. To decide how many slots an association will get, the system, which is based on a customized version of the UEFA ranking, considers factors such as marketability and facilities. The higher a club&#8217;s score on the criteria, the more teams it will have in the Champions League and the fewer qualifying rounds its teams will have to fight in.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Tournament<\/b><\/h3><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5771 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-thuc-giai-dau-AFC-Champions-League.jpg\" alt=\"Th\u1ec3 th\u1ee9c gi\u1ea3i \u0111\u1ea5u AFC Champions League\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-thuc-giai-dau-AFC-Champions-League.jpg 625w, https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-thuc-giai-dau-AFC-Champions-League-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-thuc-giai-dau-AFC-Champions-League-267x150.jpg 267w, https:\/\/worldcupfootball.bet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/The-thuc-giai-dau-AFC-Champions-League-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tournament proper kicks off with a group stage that has 40 teams split into ten groups. Teams from the same country are not put in the same group for this stage, as it is determined by seeding. The group stage is composed of two parts, one for the 5 West Asian groups and the other for the 5 East Asian groups. In a round-robin format, each squad plays its group&#8217;s other squad both at home and away. In each group, the champion and runners-up proceed to the next round.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this level, the team that wins through one group fights against the runner-up from another group within their zone. If the two teams are tied after 180 minutes, the team who scored more goals at their opponent&#8217;s field goes to the next round. After extra time, if the score remains tied, the away goals rule does not apply. A penalty shootout will be held if the score is still tied after extra time. The East and West zones will be kept separate until the end.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The group stage and Round of 16 matches take place in the first half of the year (February\u2013May), followed by the knockout stage in the second half of the year (August\u2013November). The knockout ties, including the final, are played in a two-legged format.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Allocation<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only 19 AFC countries have qualified for the AFC Champions League group round.
