The 2004 AFC Champions League was the 23rd edition of the top-level Asian club football tournament and the 2nd edition under the current AFC Champions League title. The title was won by Al-Ittihad over Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma.

Al Ain were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in the quarter-finals.

Format

[edit]
Group Stage

A total of 28 clubs were divided into seven groups of four, based on region i.e. East Asian and Southeast Asian clubs were drawn in groups E to G, while the rest were grouped in groups A to D. Each club played double round-robin (home and away) against fellow three group members, a total of six matches each. Clubs received three points for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss. The clubs were ranked according to points and tie breakers were in the following order:

  1. Points in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
  3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
  4. Goal difference in all group matches;
  5. Goals scored in all group matches;

The seven group winners along with the defending champion (Al Ain) advanced to the quarter-finals.

Knockout stage

An open draw was held for the knockout stage; teams from the same group or the same association could not be drawn against each other. Each tie is played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. The away goals rule, extra time and penalty shoot-outs were used to decide the winner if necessary.

Teams

[edit]

For this year the competition was restricted to clubs from countries considered 'mature' in the 'Vision Asia' paper of AFC President Mohamed Bin Hammam, with clubs from 'developing' countries entering the newly created AFC Cup and 'emerging' nations to enter the AFC President's Cup from 2005 onwards.

Notes
  1. ^
    Iraq (IRQ): The 2002–03 Iraqi First Division League was stopped on 28 March 2003 as a result of the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's government which led to the formation of a new IFA committee. Al-Shorta and Al-Najaf were first and second respectively at the outbreak of the war and so were chosen to represent Iraq in the AFC Champions League. However Al-Najaf informed the IFA that they were not ready to participate and the IFA thus gave the slot to Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya who were 5th at the time of the cancellation and the next highest-placed team in the table that had not already been admitted into a continental or regional competition.
  2. ^
    United Arab Emirates (UAE): 2002–03 UAE Football League champions, Al Ain, had already qualified for the AFC Champions League as defending champions.
