JAKARTA - The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has announced a slot for each country for the 2023/2024 Asian competition. The Indonesian team officially gets three slots.
The slot is to appear in the Asian Champions League playoffs, the AFC Cup group stage, and the AFC Cup playoffs.
This assurance was obtained from information shared by the Director of PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB), Ferry Paulus, in his official statement on Monday, April 10. Ferry stated that PSSI had written with AFC regarding nominations and criteria for appearing on the AFC agenda.
From the information, it is known that the slots participating in the Asian Champions League playoffs will be filled with winners of the playoffs between the 2021/2022 Liga 1 champions, namely Bali United, against the 2022/2023 PSM Makassar League 1 champion.
"Tim yang kalah dari playoffs, statusnya langsung hadir di AFC Cup pada babak penyisihan grup," kata Ferry Paulus dalam keterangan resmi.
Meanwhile, the third slot or team that will represent Indonesia in the AFC Cup playoff phase will not be played again.
Because that position will be submitted to the second-ranked club Liga 1 2022/2023, which is currently still being contested by Persija Jakarta and Persib Bandung.
To determine the criteria for representatives for each country in the specified slot quota, the AFC provides full freedom to the state federation concerned.
In this case, the technical selection of clubs representing countries in Asian competitions is handed over to each country based on the Entry Manual for AFC Club Competitions.
As an illustration, Ferry Paulus made Thailand an example. The neighboring country determines the quota of clubs for the 2023/2024 Asian competition by playing a playoff in the country.
"So in this case what has been determined by PSSI is already known by the AFC. They are just waiting for the final result later," said Ferry Paulus.
