Format[edit]

In the knockout stage, the 11 teams play a single-elimination tournament. Each tie is played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, except the final which is played as a single match. The away goals rule (for two-legged ties), extra time (away goals do not apply in extra time) and penalty shoot-out are used to decide the winner if necessary (Regulations Article 11.3).

Schedule[edit]

The schedule of each round is as follows (W: West Asia Zone; A: ASEAN Zone).[1] Matches in the West Asia Zone are played on Mondays and Tuesdays, while matches in the ASEAN Zone and the Inter-zone play-offs are played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
