Who qualifies for Asian competition
Like Europe, Asian football has 2 competitions: AFC Champions League and AFC Cup. Indian clubs are allotted 2 slots in these. The winner of the I- League (India’s premier football league) gets to play the qualifiers for the Asian Champions League.
The winner of the Federation Cup is inserted into the qualifiers for the AFC Cup. In case the I League winners fail to qualify for the Champions League, they are also given a similar slot in the AFC Cup qualifiers.
Also, the AFC Cup takes place in the calendar year. So, the current competition has teams who qualified in the 2014-15 season.
