In both the East and West zones, there are a total of 14 direct slots in the group stage, with the 2 remaining slots filled through play-offs. The top five MAs in both the East and West zones, if they acquire a minimum of 600 points, get direct slots in the group stage, while the remaining MAs, if they meet the minimum requirements, get play-off slots. The following scheme of allocating slots was approved by the AFC for the 2014–16 tournaments:http://www.the-afc.com/en/component/jdownloads/finish/64/140.html Manual for points systems & decision method for AFC Champions League participation AFC 15 March 2013 The top two ranked MAs in both the East and West zones get four direct slots each. The third-ranked MAs get three direct and one play-off slot. The fourth-ranked MAs get two direct and two play-off slots. The fifth-ranked MAs get one direct and two play-off slots. The sixth- to eleventh-ranked MAs each get one play-off slot. The maximum number of slots for each MA is one-third of the total number of clubs in the top division (e.g., Australia can only get a maximum of three total slots as there are only nine Australia-based clubs in the A-League). The AFC Cup winners and runners-up are given a play-off slot, regardless of their respective MA's rank, as long as the club meets the minimum criteria. If they have already qualified based on domestic performance, the slot is given to the next eligible club in its MA, as long as the club meets the minimum criteria. On 26 November 2013, the AFC Executive Committee approved the slots for the 2014 edition of the AFC Champions League.http://www.the-afc.com/executive-committee/afc-exco-okays-acl-slots-format AFC ExCo okays ACL slots, format AFC 26 November 2013http://www.vnleague.com/images/vpf/2013/11/1385700704.pdf AFC Champions League 2014 and AFC Cup 2014 Competition Format – AFC Champions League & AFC Cup Play-off Asian Football Confederation Vietnam Professional Football 28 November 2013 4 December 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131213085904/http://www.vnleague.com/images/vpf/2013/11/1385700704.pdf 13 December 2013 dead dmy-all Evaluation for 2014 AFC Champions LeagueFulfills criteria (> 600 points)Does not fulfill criteria, but allocated slotsNot assessed, but allocated slots +West Asia ZoneRankMemberAssociationPointsSlotsGroup stagePlay-offRound 3Round 2Round 11IRN Iran908.4740002KSA Saudi Arabia869.6240003UAE United Arab Emirates848.9430104QAT Qatar848.5620205UZB Uzbekistan693.3810206IND India526.55000[A]1A 17JOR Jordan500.8900018OMA Oman390.0200019BHR Bahrain253.67000110IRQ Iraq—000110KUW Kuwait—000[B]1+1BTotal1405[A]6A 211 +East Asia ZoneRankMemberAssociationPointsSlotsGroup stagePlay-offRound 3Round 2Round 11JPN Japan935.3040002KOR South Korea887.4540003CHN China PR843.5431004AUS Australia804.0821005THA Thailand601.2010206SIN Singapore438.3400017HKG Hong Kong408.0200018VIE Vietnam301.310001Total1422[A]4A 38 Notes A 3 The play-off entrant from India is moved to the East Asia Zone.
