Overview (men)
AFC allocation
Since 2007, Australian clubs have participated in the AFC Champions League. There have been a different number of teams qualifying for the group stage and the play-off stage during this time.[1][2][3][4][5] For several years, 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.[6]
With the new format for the competition, and based on the yearly AFC club competitions ranking, Australia has one entrant to the League stage of the AFC Champions League Elite and one entrant to the Group stage of the AFC Champions League Two.
