EAST G After the withdrawal of Liaoning Whowin and disqualification of Persipura Jayapura from the 2012 AFC Champions League qualifying play-off East Asia Zone, only three teams were left, meaning only one final round loser would enter the AFC Cup in the East Asia Zone instead of two. As a result, no qualifying play-off was necessary for the East Asia Zone and both the second representatives from Malaysia (Terengganu) and Myanmar (Ayeyawady United), which were originally slated to enter the AFC Cup qualifying play-off, automatically advanced to the group stage. Persipura Jayapura were later provisionally reinstated to the 2012 AFC Champions League, but the AFC decided that the loser of the qualifying play-off match between Adelaide United and Persipura Jayapura would not advance to the 2012 AFC Cup group stage.http://www.the-afc.com/en/media-releases/38005-acl-playoff-adelaide-united-vs-persipura-jayapura-on-feb-16 https://archive.today/20121204163430/http://www.the-afc.com/en/media-releases/38005-acl-playoff-adelaide-united-vs-persipura-jayapura-on-feb-16 dead 4 December 2012 ACL playoff: Adelaide United vs Persipura Jayapura on Feb 16 AFC 13 February 2012 Qualified teams A total of 33 teams participated in the 2012 AFC Cup, including 3 teams which joined as 2012 AFC Champions League qualifying play-off final round losers: 31 teams (19 in West Asia Zone, 12 in East Asia Zone) directly entered the group stage. 2 teams (both in West Asia Zone) competed in the qualifying play-off.
