Overview[edit]

AFC allocation[edit]

Since 2007, Australian clubs have participated in the AFC Champions League. For their first five competitions, the A-League was given two spots in the league- one for the champions (grand final winners) and one for the premiers (regular season winners- or the losing grand finalist if the champions and premiers were the same team). For the 2012 competition, another half a spot was added, with the highest placed team on the A-League table which has not already qualified for the AFC Champions League entering a playoff to enter the competition.

For the 2013 competition the AFC reduced the number of A-League qualification spots to 1.5.^[1] The Premiers (regular season winners) directly qualified for the Asian Champions League. The Champions (winners of grand final) entered a play off to qualify for the competition. The AFC ruled that the A-League did not meet the criteria for full participation in the tournament, including the lack of promotion and relegation within a tiered league system was a major reason, and that the A-league was not run as a separate entity to the FFA.^[2]^[3]

From the 2014 AFC Champions League until the 2016 edition, the allocation of two spots in the group stage and one qualifying play-off spot returned^[4]^[5] and in 2017, the qualifying play-off spot dropped back to a place in the preliminary round 2.^[6]^[7]^[8]

For the 2023–24 AFC Champions League a single team will compete in the group stage, with two teams qualifying to the second-tier 2023–24 AFC Cup group stage.^[9]
