I hope we change the name of this thread to AFC cup not Asian Champion League. thanks to AFC, Thailand got promoted to ACL and Tajikistan is promoted to AFC Cup. As Tajikistan is geographically clser to West Asia, they went to West Zone and India took Thailand's place in East Zone. I was tired of Indian clubs defeated by likes of Arbil, Duhok, Al Wahda, Qadsia every year. Hopefully East Asia will provide new challenges. Dempo players should question Armando about his arrogance and stupidity of not playing in AFC Cup and denying opportunity to its players for international experience.

That is where I disagree with the AFC. I dont mind separating the Asian countries from each competition and having an off-field criteria but this decision is really fucked up.

this time dempo would have made QF atleast easily
Colaco knows that he does not have the team that can compete in I league and AFC cup simultaneously. So he chickened out.
The I league win is easier for Dempo this yr. As the other two contenders will lose out due to the AFC Cup.
Atleast EB have a strong bench but CB dont even have that. Only time will tell whether Dempo took the right decision or CB took the wrong.
In some countries teams fight to win the league to compete in AFC. But in our "GREAT" country teams are fighting to win I league and get that peanut prize money and are not interested in AFC. All the teams are guilty of this attitude. Sucks big time.
Last year the prize money for AFC Cup was 350 000 dollars. Runners up 250 000 dollars. But then there are other financial benefits. Each club gets 20000 dollars travel subsidy for away match even though host club provides accomodation in quality hotels plus food, water, local transportation etc. The clubs get to keep gate money for the matches they host. From Round of 16, AFC gives money for every match won.
so it was monetarily beneficial to play in AFC cup (winners get rs 1.75 crores approx) ....they have won i-league 3 times....what has it given them monetarily?? atleast here the prize money was good enough even for every game won.... really unprofessional from dempo..... what r they gonna get after winning i-league this season too (apart from cup and pride) )

Format changes
The following changes in the format of the competition were made compared with the previous year:
This information I got from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_AFC_Champions_League
This is really insane. Suppose Dempo plays qualifying play-off, if they lose then they cannot play in AFC cup also. weird.

what is the prize money for winning AFC Cup? and for I-league winners?
