For this edition, the tournament was extended from eight to eleven teams, with three groups in place of the previous two. The three new teams came from Bangladesh, Myanmar and Turkmenistan. The eleven teams that competed were split up into three groups and played each other team in their group once. The winner of each group and the best runner-up qualified for the semifinals, and the winners of the semifinal matches played in the final match to determine the winner. Each group was to be played over a period of days in April at one venue - Group A at Dashrath Stadium, Nepal, Group B at Chungshan Stadium, Taiwan and Group C at Sugathadasa Stadium, Sri Lanka. However, due to political unrest in Nepal, Group A matches were postponed and eventually played at MPPJ Stadium, Malaysia in June.https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/ascup08.html Asian Club Competitions 2008 The final stage of the competition was played in Kyrgyzstan from 19–21 September.http://www.the-afc.com/eng/articles/viewArticle.jsp_167018794.html Official Home of Asian Football - News 2008-06-03 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20080802002114/http://www.the-afc.com/eng/articles/viewArticle.jsp_167018794.html 2008-08-02 Final stage to be held in Kyrgyzstan Venues Group stage Kuala Lumpur Taipei Colombo MPPJ Stadium Changchun Soccer Stadium Sugathadasa Stadium Capacity: 25,000 Capacity: 20,000 Capacity: 25,000200px200px200px Final stage Bishkek Spartak Stadium Capacity: 23,000 Qualifying teams AssociationTeamQualifying methodAppLast App BAN Bangladesh Abahani Ltd. 2007 B.League champions 1st BHU Bhutan Transport United 2007 A-Division champions 4th 2007 CAM Cambodia Nagacorp FC 2007 Cambodian League champions 1st TPE Chinese Taipei Taipower 2007 Enterprise Football League champions 2nd 2005 KGZ Kyrgyzstan Dordoi-Dynamo 2007 Kyrgyzstan League champions 4th 2007 MYA 1974 Myanmar Kanbawza 2007 Myanmar Premier League champions 1st NEP Nepal Nepal Police Club1 2006–07 Martyr's Memorial A-Division League champions2 2nd 2007 PAK Pakistan WAPDA3 2007–08 Pakistan Premier League champions 2nd 2005 SRI Sri Lanka Ratnam SC 2007 Kit Premier League champions 3rd 2007 TJK Tajikistan Regar-TadAZ 2007 Tajik League champions 3rd 2007 TKM Turkmenistan FC Aşgabat 2007 Turkmenistan League champions 1st 1 Mehandra Police Club now known as Nepal Police Club. 2 No league held in 2007–08 so 2006–07 champions qualify. 3 Pakistan Army F.C. were originally Pakistan's entrants, but replaced by WAPDA for rearranged group stage.
