(Redirected from 2023 ASEAN Club Championship)

The revival of the ASEAN Club Championship was first proposed to the Asian Football Confederation in 2019,[5] but was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] A further attempt to resurrect the competition was made in 2023,[7] but that was officially cancelled due to overlapping competition schedules from other competitions (such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC second round and 2023 AFC Asian Cup).[8] Clubs like Buriram United, Kaya–Iloilo and Lion City Sailors participated in the AFC competitions which puts them in a tight schedule.

The current tournament was launched on April 4, 2024 with games projected to be played from 17 July 2024 to 21 May 2025.[9]

Association team allocation

edit

Clubs from all twelve member football associations of the ASEAN Football Federation were eligible to enter the competition; Australia and Timor Leste did not enter.[9]

Teams

Notes
  1. ^
    Indonesia (IDN): Persija, the 2022–23 Liga 1 runners-up, qualified but declined to participate. Thus, their spot was given to Borneo, the 2023–24 Liga 1 regular series winners.[13]
  2. ^
    Malaysia (MAS): Johor Darul Ta'zim, the 2023 Malaysia Super League champions, qualified but declined to participate.[9]
  3. ^
    Singapore (SGP): Albirex Niigata (S), the 2023 Singapore Premier League champions, are a satellite team of a Japanese club and thus ineligible to represent Singapore in the ACC. As a result, Lion City Sailors, the 2023 Singapore Cup winners, qualified instead.[9]
