AFC Cup

edit

On 11 November 2020, the AFC approved a new calendar for the competition due to the COVID-19 pandemic, where the group stage is played as centralized single round-robin tournament, and the preliminary round, play-off round, and ASEAN Zone semi-finals and final are played as a single match.[28]

Teams from ASEAN Zone will not compete in the knockout stage, due to the cancellation of group stage matches in ASEAN Zone.[29]
