Teams
@2001:8003:537d:4d00:8dfb:8082:22dd:21a0 and Jaanklaas: Please do not write teams which have not qualified, thanks. If you have question(s) about it or you want to write on, please leave a message to discuss on this talk page first, thanks! Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 11:00, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Chanheigeorge: Someone add teams which did not qualify it. So I open discussion to confirm whether we should write or not, in case edit warring, thanks! Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 13:59, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
@ThailandFootball: Teams advanced to final is not guaranteed to quailified, and Chiangrai United F.C. only 4th now in league. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 15:57, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
Teams as of 4 November 2017
Please update:
- Add Tianjin Quanjian (2017 Chinese Super League 3rd place)
- Add Tampines Rovers (2017 S.League runners-up)
- Remove Chiangrai United (maybe lose the cup winners and reach 4th or below in the league table).
- Thanks. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 13:59, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
Teams table format
I think the current table format for qualified teams need to be changed. I am suggesting to change the table format to
UEFA Champions League format. Here are my reason :
1. The table is too long.
ACL only have 53 teams but the table is 3/4 page longer than UCL. For reference, UCL have 79 teams in total.
If we use UCL format, the table will be neater and all teams can be seen in one go.
2. Qualifying method column is too detailed.
In UCL teams table, they just indicate the qualifying method with the league rank (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) or cup winners (CW) and I think it's enough to indicate team's qualifying method for the tournament. We don't need to write the entire competition name.
3. In my opinion, app and last app column is not needed because they don't have any relevancy to the tournament itself.
4. Any teams qualified not from usual qualifying method, like there are no league held that season or teams above them can't obtain license, can be written in notes below the table.
Thanks.

- Notes
- ^ Singapore (SIN): Albirex Niigata Singapore, the 2017 S.League champions, is a satellite team of Japanese club Albirex Niigata and thus ineligible to represent Singapore in AFC club competitions. Moreover, the 2017 Singapore Cup winners will be either Albirex Niigata Singapore or Philippine club Global Cebu and thus ineligible to represent Singapore in AFC club competitions. As a result, the league runners-up will enter the qualifying play-offs.
- But I want to leave it to User:Chanheigeorge to decide. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 13:20, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Fauzannaufan and Chanheigeorge: And what about AFC Cup? Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 14:33, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Hhhhhkohhhhh: I think the teams must be grouped according to its zone. Maybe one column for each zone? Becuase West and ASEAN zone have 9 direct slot each, they will have 3 columns, while other zones which have 3 direct slot, will have 1 column each. But the table will be too wide (9 columns). If we change it to 3 columns (West, ASEAN, other zones), we will have difficulty to separate teams from different zone in the third column. Fauzannaufan (talk) 15:13, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Fauzannaufan: But in the Quailifying round, numbers of teams in Central, South, East is more than which in West and ASEAN. So I think we should use two tables, one for West and ASEAN, other for Central, South and East. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 15:27, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Fauzannaufan and Hhhhhkohhhhh: There are obvious pros and cons of the two formats, and I definitely need to see what the AFC Cup table looks like before voting one way or the other. Also I think we need to ask for opinions from more people before making such a change. Chanheigeorge (talk) 02:00, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
- Agree with User:Chanheigeorge. This is my sample for AFC Cup in my opinion. @Fauzannaufan: What is your sample in your opinion?
