Attention! The new AFC Champions League is about to kick off with a revamped tournament format tailor-made for soccer superstar Cron. 2024-2025 season, the number of teams will be reduced to 24, with half of the teams from East Asia and half from West Asia, and the name of the tournament will be upgraded to the AFC Champions League Elite Cup. With the elimination of foreign aid restrictions, Cron will have the opportunity to play alongside more of his top teammates, making this visual feast even more exciting!
The revamped tournament format bids farewell to the group stage, with the tournament divided into two regions, East Asia and West Asia. Each team will draw lots to determine the four home and away matches. The top eight teams from each region will advance to the knockout rounds of the top 16. The previous pattern of East and West Asian teams having to face each other in the finals will be broken, and more exciting matches will be played among the top eight teams, which will make the tournament even more tense and exciting.
Full liberalization of foreign aid restrictions, unlimited room for imagination
The 5+1 foreign aid restriction of the past AFC Champions League will be abolished, and under the new system, as long as the team is well-funded, it can set up an all-foreign-aid lineup as if it were a virtual game and free to form a team. Saudi Hilal and Ainas, for example, have invested heavily in their teams in recent years and are expected to create world-class star teams under the new system. Accordingly, the tournament prize money will also be greatly increased, the champion's prize money soared from 4 million dollars to 10 million dollars, all levels of prize money will also usher in a substantial increase. The newly born AFC Elite League is undoubtedly a feast for fans to look forward to!
