AFC CHAMPIONS LEAGUE™ AND AFC CUP™ 2023/24

The AFC Champions League (ACL) is the premier club football competition in Asia, much like how the UEFA Champions League is for Europe. Held by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the football governing body of Asia, the ACL was first held in 1967.

The Asian Cup participants are determined through a series of competitions competing all the way down to 16 AFC members. Those 16 teams play in a four-group round-robin stage that is followed by a knockout tournament between the eight teams that qualifies in the previous stage.
