Quote:GUANGZHOU FORCED TO PLAY IN EMPTY STADIUM
By AFP 3 February 2016 17:43
Guangzhou will kick off their defence of the Champions League title in an empty stadium after being punished Wednesday by Asia's football governing body.
China's Guangzhou Evergrande will kick off their defence of the Champions League title in an empty stadium after being punished Wednesday by Asia's football governing body for breaching league rules.
The breaches included filming an Al Ahli (UAE) closed training session, conducting an unauthorised post-match ceremony and infringing on the commercial rights of Asian Football Confederation sponsors, the AFC said in a statement.
The governing body said further violations relate to safety and security failures during the second leg of the 2015 final, which the club hosted on November 21 against Al Ahli.
"The AFC disciplinary committee has fined Guangzhou Evergrande a total of $160,000 and ordered the club to play its first match in the 2016 season behind closed doors," the football body said.
The game in question is Guangzhou Evergrande's group stage match on February 24 against the winner of East Zone play-off 1.
The Chinese Football Association was also fined $10,000.
Guangzhou are China's most successful club, having won the Chinese Super League the last five years in a row. They also claimed the Asian Champions League twice in the same period. https://www.beinsports.com/en/afc-champions-league/news/guangzhou-forced-to-play-in-empty-stadium/190795

Great to see burns on the scoresheet too

Having a look at West Asia which is comprised of teams from just five countries in Uzbekistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE, and it's actually looking good for a lot of the teams from the only two countries I'd fancy an away final trip to (Uzbekistan and Iran) to qualify.
All the games between Iran and Saudi teams have been put back to the last two of the group and played on neutral territory because of their breakdown in relations, which leads to some interesting runs home, especially for Pakhtakor who get to play both of their last games against already eliminated Al-Jazira.

Meanwhile in newly AFC technical ranking, which will be used to decided ACL slots for 2017-2018 season, update to 5th round of ACL it is like this:
Eastern top six countries
Korea 94.378 points (68.529 League Points + 25.848 National team Points) 3+1 slots
Japan 81.935 (56.176+25.759) 3+1 solts

Thailand 42.671 (29.412+13.259) 1+2 slots
Hong Kong 33.976 (23.529+10.446) 1+1 slots
Based on current performance, both Australia and China has chances to overtake Japan in November rankings, means J-league could have 2+2 slots in 2017-2018
Western top six countries

Iran has chances to surpass UAE ans have 3+1 slots because of strong performance of their national team

Edited by paladisious: 28/4/2016 02:04:54 PM If we're going to keep the tournament split into east and west, I see no problem with doubling the group stage to 32 teams in each side and playing an extra round of knockouts. The smaller MA deserve a chance to compete along with bringing in more clubs from the value bringing nations like China to drive the extra revenue and interest needed to cover that.

I'd even look at splitting and marketing the comps entirely and just play off for the Club World Cup spot. Might as well be separate comps if it's split until the final fixture. Won't happen though. I would also be wanting to keep the Central Asian Football Association so we can keep Iran and the 'Stans. Edited by paladisious: 28/4/2016 08:02:40 PM
