The season resumed on 17 July 2020.[2] Similarly, the 2020 AFC Champions League competition has been suspended until at least mid-September 2020 in West Zone.[3] The AFC Executive Committee agreed to played AFC Champions League East Zone matches which are now scheduled to be played between 15 November and 13 December 2020 in Qatar.[4][5]
