2023-24 ACL Schedule Confirmed
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The AFC Executive Committee of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) approved the new calendar of the 2023-24 AFC Champions League season.
The new edition is set to kick off with the Preliminary Stage 1 on August 8, 2023, while the Group Stage is scheduled to take place from September 18 to December 13, 2023.
The Knockout Stage will be held from February 12 to April 24, 2024, before the two-legged Final is staged on May 11 and 18, 2024.
The recommendation to eliminate the away goals rule as a tiebreaker option was also approved and instead, extra time and, if necessary, kicks from the penalty mark will be used to determine the winner of tied home and away matches.
This will be implemented in the AFC Club Competitions from the 2023-24 season onwards.
