The AFC Champions League was put on temporary hold in West Asia on Sunday while football officials work out ways to get the remaining group matches played despite the new coronavirus outbreak.
With the competition’s East Asian zone already severely disrupted by COVID-19, delegates from West Asia suspended group play to evaluate a “series of proposals” to complete the pool stage.
“The AFC has now asked for the cooperation of the member associations in producing a plan by which the remaining matches can be played before the round of 16.” The tournament’s East zone, kept separate from the West until the final, last week moved back the start of its knock-out rounds to August. China, South Korea and Japan, whose domestic leagues are on hold over the virus, all have teams in the competition.
