Hi everyone.
I love the UEFA Champions League format which gave opportunity to all of its member countries to represent themselves in this competition. Even tiny Gibraltar is allocated one slot.
In Asian Champions League however, teams who are ranked higher will be eligible to enter a team. Currently the lowest ranked nations that were eligible to sent a team are Syria and Singapore. And it was very skewed to the big market, like South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Uzbeks all will have 3 automatic places in the group stage with total of 4 participants. Smaller market, however, in east asian region, will only have two (currently occupied by Thailand and Vietnam). Other smaller nations representatives will undergo meaningless one-legged qualifier (and losing as they also includes giants from china and australia)
Does anyone know how to edit the competition so that it follows UEFA Champions League format? Imagine the whole of AFC members is ranked from 1 to 47 just like UEFA, given coefficients, then all nations can send their champion through qualifying for the Champions League and AFC Cup will become like Europa League.
I would be chuffed to bits
thanks
