Association team allocation

The AFC Competitions Committee proposed a revamp of the AFC club competitions on 25 January 2014,{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/competitions-division/revamp-of-afc-competitions|title=Revamp of AFC competitions|publisher=AFC|date=25 January 2014}} which was ratified by the AFC Executive Committee on 16 April 2014.{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/executive-committee/exco-approves-expanded-afc-asian-cup-finals|title=ExCo approves expanded AFC Asian Cup finals|publisher=AFC|date=16 April 2014}} The 46 AFC member associations (excluding the associate member Northern Mariana Islands) are ranked based on their national team's and clubs' performance over the last four years in AFC competitions, with the allocation of slots for the 2017 and 2018 editions of the AFC club competitions determined by the 2016 AFC rankings (Entry Manual Article 2.2):{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/afc/documents/PdfFiles/entry-manual-afc-club-competitions-2017-2020-33728|title=Entry Manual: AFC Club Competitions 2017–2020|publisher=AFC|format=PDF}}

  • The associations are split into two regions:
  • West Region consists of the associations from the West Asian Football Federation (WAFF), the Central Asian Football Association (CAFA), and the South Asian Football Federation (SAFF).
  • East Region consists of the associations from the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) and the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF).
  • In each region, there are four groups in the group stage, including a total of 12 direct slots, with the 4 remaining slots filled through play-offs.
  • The top 12 associations in each region as per the AFC rankings are eligible to enter the AFC Champions League, as long as they fulfill the AFC Champions League criteria.
  • The top six associations in each region get at least one direct slot in the group stage, while the remaining associations get only play-off slots (as well as AFC Cup group stage slots):
  • The associations ranked 1st and 2nd each get three direct slots and one play-off slot.
  • The associations ranked 3rd and 4th each get two direct slots and two play-off slots.
  • The associations ranked 5th each get one direct slot and two play-off slots.
  • The associations ranked 6th each get one direct slot and one play-off slot.
  • The associations ranked 7th to 12th each get one play-off slot.
  • The maximum number of slots for each association is one-third of the total number of eligible teams in the top division.
  • If any association gives up its direct slots, they are redistributed to the highest eligible association, with each association limited to a maximum of three direct slots.
  • If any association gives up its play-off slots, they are annulled and not redistributed to any other association.

For the 2017 AFC Champions League, the associations were allocated slots according to their association ranking published on 30 November 2016,{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/afc/documents/PdfFiles/afc-ma-ranking-as-of-30-november-2016-36584|title=AFC MA Ranking (as of 30 November 2016)|publisher=AFC|format=PDF}} which takes into account their performance in the AFC Champions League and the AFC Cup, as well as their national team's FIFA World Rankings, during the period between 2013 and 2016.{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/uploads/afc/files/afc_ma_ranking_mechanics.pdf|title=AFC Club Competitions Ranking Mechanics (2016 version)|publisher=AFC}}

{{Cnote2|Note HKG|Hong Kong (HKG): Eastern, the 2015–16 Hong Kong Premier League champions, initially gave up their place in the AFC Champions League due to financial problems. As a result, the Hong Kong Football Association decided that Kitchee, the 2015–16 Hong Kong season play-off winners, would enter the group stage instead of the qualifying play-offs, while Southern District, the play-off runners-up, would enter the qualifying play-offs.{{cite web|url=http://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/1991416/money-talks-hong-kong-premier-league-champions-eastern-give-historic|title=Money talks: Hong Kong Premier League champions Eastern give up historic AFC Champions League place after losing financial backing|publisher=South China Morning Post|date=18 July 2016}} However, the AFC did not allow Kitchee to replace Eastern in the AFC Champions League group stage, and Kitchee would still enter the qualifying play-offs, while Southern District would not be able to participate in the AFC Champions League.{{cite web|url=http://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/2046961/hong-kongs-champions-league-debut-doubt-asian-football-confederation|title=Hong Kong’s Champions League debut in doubt with AFC set to block Kitchee’s bid to replace Premier League winners Eastern|publisher=South China Morning Post|date=17 November 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/2047251/kitchee-attack-hong-kong-fa-chief-blunder-row-over-champions-league|title=Eastern ‘ready to return’ to AFC Champions League as Kitchee attack Hong Kong FA chief for ‘blunder’ in eligibility fiasco|publisher=South China Morning Post|date=18 November 2015}} On 21 November 2016, the Hong Kong Football Association announced they had reversed their decision and would put forward Eastern and Kitchee as their representatives.{{cite web|url=http://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/2047989/chan-yuen-ting-poised-become-first-female-head-coach-afc-champions|title=Chan Yuen-ting poised to become first female head coach in the AFC Champions League after Eastern are reinstated|publisher=South China Morning Post|date=21 November 2016}}}}
