Position in league

Continental

At the continental level, clubs across Asia compete in tournaments based on the ranking and status of their domestic leagues. The AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) is Asia’s top-tier club competition featuring the best teams from the continent’s highest-ranked leagues. Below it is the AFC Champions League Two (ACL2), the second-tier tournament for clubs from developing football nations, followed by the AFC Challenge League (ACGL) as the third tier. Prior to the 2024–25 restructuring, ACL2 was known as the AFC Cup, which ran from 2004 to 2023. Negeri Sembilan represented Malaysia in the inaugural AFC Cup in 2004 and again in 2007, but withdrew from the 2010 edition despite qualifying.[55][56]
