Who are Yatai's AFC Champions League play-off opponents? According to the current arrangement, Changchun Yatai's opponent in the AFC Champions League play-off on March 15 will be the winner between The Philippines' Kaya and "an Australian team". Changchun Yatai will be (most likely nominal) home team.
But at the moment, the Australian team has not yet been determined. It could be Sydney FC, it could be Central Coast Mariners
In the 2022 AFC Champions League season, Australia has 1+2 places. 1 is the 20-21 Australian Premier League champion (Melbourne City), the Australian FA Cup champion (to be determined), the Australian Premier League second place (Sydney FC). If the AUS CUP winner is a team without an AFC Champions League licence, or Melbourne City, the play-offs will be extended to the third place in the Australian Premier League (Mariners) 20-21. The order of the three teams is governed by Article 9 of the AFC Match Access Manual – namely "League Champion - Cup Champion - League Second" or "League Champion - League Second - League Third".
In order to facilitate everyone's understanding, this table has been made. It is worth noting that Australia is currently experiencing a very severe wave of the epidemic, and football activities have also been affected. Therefore, everything is to be determined.
Criticism and correction are welcome.
