Champions Table[edit]

Perhaps the table with the champions/finals etc. could be broken up into two tables to more clearly identify the pre-champions league finals and those after the competition changed? -Mike 'TinTin'

Also, could it specify who won what? is the table the Asian Super cup?The Cup Winners Cup? Burning phoneix 19:08, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The success of the Asian Club Championship led, in 1991, to the creation of the Asian Cup Winners’ Cup and, four years later, the Asian Super Cup which saw the winners of the two competitions meet. The three competitions duly merged in 2002 to create the AFC Champions League, www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-champions-league/latest/news/afc-champions-league-the-drama-the-glory-22276 Chivasguadalajara1 (talk) 21:31, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One-year lag[edit]

I read from the A-League_06-07 article that the Australia representatives for each year will be the previous year's premiers and champions, not the current year, giving a one-year lag. Is this the same for other teams wrt their respective leagues or is Australia unusual in this? Pimlottc 04:08, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Around the world it's not that uncommon. Some of the Nordic countries enter UEFA competions based on the previous season results. In Japan the winners of the Emperor's Cup also go into the next seaons champions league (in the same way the Australian teams do)Tancred 10:41, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New format and A-league club places[edit]

has the AFC Champions league increasing to 32 teams for 2006 been confirmed because I watched Total Football on FoxSports in Australia last night (10 Nov 2005), and they have said it will be very unlikly that a A-league team will be included for the champions league for 2006 because the a-league champions are not decided untill march 2006 and the draw made up for the AFC Champions league is done in december , they said it was still possible but very unlikly that the A-league teams will not be added untill 2007

aticle on this from theworldgame.com.au

A-League clubs Asian setback

Its now looking like the new format will start in 2007 --Tancred

Sorting the list[edit]

Look http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Football_Championship , they don't have 3rd place anymore, but they still use 3rd place, and even 4th place in the all-time ranking, so don't remove the 3rd place just cause you don't like the results, 3rd place is used in ranking everywhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurdo777 (talk • contribs) 22:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The 3rd place just added as a Bonus addition, there is no 3rd place value in this competition. Mussav (talk) 22:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

there was a 3rd place between 1971 to 2002, you can't determine value for it —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurdo777 (talk • contribs) 22:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the 3rd place dose not decide which one is the most successful because simply it did not exist in all editions, so by deciding it on something dose not exist any more and in matter of fact is not valuable at all and canceled from the competition, is something incorrect. Mussav (talk) 23:02, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
in all rankings, 3rd place is the decider after 1st and 2nd, this is a universal rule. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurdo777 (talk • contribs) 23:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Kurdo, assuming things like this without backing of some source should be refraimed. I think you guys should take it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Football and see what they say about the issue. Chaldean (talk) 06:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Participating Associations" table[edit]

I know the group stage is designed to stay at 32 teams, but wouldn't it be more appropriate to use the total number of teams that are accepted into the competition, i.e. include the teams that were knocked out in the playoff stage(s)? As it is right now, it's hiding all recent growth. CyMoahk2 (talk) 18:28, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

SVG version of map of AFC members Champions League participants[edit]

I created an SVG version of the map. I thought I'd let the other editors take a look at it first. If no one objects, I'll put the image in the article where the PNG version currently is.

Record[edit]

According to AFC, AFC Champions League doesn't succeeded Asian Club Championship's record. AFC isn't UEFA. http://prd-afc-en.deltatre.net/afc/documents/pdffiles/afc-champions-league-2019-media-guide


So? See UEFA1 and 2, UEFA media guide also doesnt include seasons prior 1992, but we have all records for European Cup and UEFA CL in the same articles. Media reports also includes records from pre-2002, like CCTV – Pohang won their 3rd title, not their 1st title. Same with RSSSF and Soccerway, they also includes everything prior 2002. Just because a competition was re-branded in 2002 (like UEFA rebranded European Cup into CL in 1992), it doesnt mean that its not the same competition. Snowflake91 (talk) 09:35, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And by the way, you cannot simply delete everything prior 2002 from all articles (including sources) without moving it to ANY other article on the Wikipedia. Snowflake91 (talk) 09:38, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thats a primary source and it says "since 2003", all independent sources (reliable media reports, RSSSF, soccerway, worldfootball.net and tons of others) are counting asian champions cup and champions league as the same competition. Snowflake91 (talk) 09:38, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Asia Club Championship[edit]

Stop creating separate tables and stats for 2003-present, all reliable sources (RSSSF, globalsportsarchive.com, soccerway, worldfootball etc.) have one single list of winners for 1967-2020 and we will also use this format per common sense and reliable sources, UEFA doesnt have two different tables either just because the competition rebranded and renamed in 1991. Snowflake91 (talk) 11:07, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The competition is not a continuation of the Asian Club Championship[edit]

The success of the Asian Club Championship led, in 1991, to the creation of the Asian Cup Winners’ Cup and, four years later, the Asian Super Cup which saw the winners of the two competitions meet. The three competitions duly merged in 2002 to create the AFC Champions League, a tournament that would determine the undisputed champions of Asia, and with an increased prize fund and a place at the FIFA Club World Cup acting as an added incentive Chivasguadalajara1 (talk) 21:00, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See literally one post above, all sources (including the AFC itself - see this at official tournament presentation) treats the winners of the previous tournament as the present AFC CL winners, we wont make two articles about this. Snowflake91 (talk) 21:08, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Medals (1967-2022)[edit]

This table is statistical. Since 2002–03 AFC Champions League there will be no bronze medal match and the losers of the semifinals will be considered third.

No, because those are not Olympic Games and there are no medals for countries, and this table is already in the article in "Performances by nation" section, only winners and runners-up should be listed, not some fake "bronze medals". And according to what and who are the semifinalists considered as the bronze medalists? Snowflake91 (talk) 21:47, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This table shows how many medals the clubs of each country have won. Instead of the table of medals, the title can be written as the performance of the countries.

This table is only statistical. It is used in athletics articles such as the Diamond League and European team competitions. While in reality a medal is not given. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MHcc20 (talk • contribs) 22:25, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Top 4[edit]

Who said the first to fourth teams should not be in the main article? Like the FIFA World Cup article? Why should they be in another article?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup#Results

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFC_Champions_League#Records_and_statistics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Asian_Club_Championship_and_AFC_Champions_League_finals

pt.wiki

https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liga_dos_Campe%C3%B5es_da_AFC#Campe%C3%B5es

It is clear that it is a matter of taste and there is no standard or law. The Portuguese article is correct and complete, but the English article is weak and lacks content. The results of the four semi-final teams are not in the main article, which means that it is not the most important part that it should be.

Stick to the Portuguese wiki then and don't read this weak and incomplete English article, and again the semifinal losers are NOT "bronze medalists", neither are they "third-placed teams", or at least provide an official AFC source that calls semifinal losers as "third place teams" or "bronze medalists".

Be aware of Iranian promotion/ads in the article[edit]

Since 2017, many IP/Users from Iran tried editing this article in many Wikipedia projects to promote their favorite teams. Usually Persepolis, Esteghlal and Tractor. If you saw any thing related to Iran adding to the article, check the sources, and check if it is important enough to be added? BTW, I'm not talking about women's rights in Iranian football. This section is important and should be on the article but don't let them add anything about little Iranian sides like Esteghlal/Persepolis.
