The AFC have announced changes in the format for ACL and AFC Cup, splitting into 3 competitions from 2024/25. ^[1]

The format has not been finalised. The addition of a new table into this article is misleading, as it is WP:CRYSTALBALL.

In particular there is to be a weighting system applied to the results from the past 8 years, and an additional retroactive recalculation for the years affected by COVID-19 disruptions, as per . . .

CLUB COMPETITIONS RANKING AND SLOT ALLOCATION

• At the same time, members noted the need to introduce a calculation methodology that better reflects the new competition formats, whilst noting the challenges and impact brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2020 to 2022 seasons.
• It has been approved that the Club Competitions Ranking to determine the Slot Allocation for the 2024/25 season onwards will be based on the performance of the MAs' participating clubs from the previous eight years (with weighted value) to better reflect their historical performance.
• The MAs' final points will be based on the average performance of all clubs in the AFC Club Competitions Group Stage onwards which will be applied retroactively for re-calculation of the MAs' 2021 and 2022 points for the AFC Club Competitions Ranking 2022.

Yeah. Shouldn't be added for now. -Koppapa (talk) 09:13, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For the avoidance of confusion, and reduce the number of bad posts and reverts occuring at the moment:

• the 2022 Rankings - provide the figures for the entry requirements into the three 'new' 2024–25 AFC competitions that are about to commence.
• the 2023-24 Rankings - for the ACL and AFC Cup just finished, provide the figures for the entry requirements into the 2025–26 AFC competitions.
• the 2024-25 Rankings - for the entry requirements into the 2026–27 AFC competitions. Ready for new values to be entered when the 2024–25 AFC competitions are underway.
