The moment of training for the preparation of this crucial battle was also synchronized and finalized.
The AFC's authoritative news indicates that the draw will be held on July 1 at 15:00 GMT in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and that the 12-team tournament will be a home-and-away affair spanning the period from September 2, 2021, to November 16, 2021, and then to January 2022, for a total of ten rounds. The tournament is roughly divided into three waves of climaxes, with six intensive rounds of matches from September to November, two more rounds of matches from the end of January to the beginning of February, and the final two rounds of matches in March, with two rounds of matches staged every month, making for a tightly-paced tournament.

The assembly schedule for the preparation of the Top 12 tournament has also been announced. The team is expected to be assembled around August 17th to fully prepare for the six rounds of crucial battles from September to November. It is worth noting that the players will continue to train and live in a group for nearly four months, from late August to early December, given the isolation measures.
In addition, the Chinese Super League is also facing major adjustments. In view of the impact of the World Cup, the number of rounds will be reduced from the original 30 rounds to 22 rounds. In other words, the Super League will complete the first 14 rounds of the tournament in advance of the start of the 12-team tournament, the original 15 to 22 rounds will be canceled, and the final eight rounds of the championship and relegation battles will be concentrated in the 12-team tournament after the first six rounds of the start of the tournament. With this arrangement, players can quickly return to their clubs after completing their national team duties and make a final push for a good result.
