Glory’s AFC Asian Champions League debut will move a step closer on Tuesday when the draw for the Group Stage of the continent’s premier football competition takes place at AFC House in Kuala Lumpur.
The draw, which is set to get underway at 4.30pm WST, is expected to be streamed live on the AFC’s YouTube channel which you can view HERE.
A number of qualification places are still to be confirmed, with the preliminary and play-off stages scheduled to take place throughout next month, but many of Asia’s heavy-hitters have already secured their spots.
Glory will compete in the East Region (Groups E-H), along with three South Korean clubs in Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, Suwon Samsung Bluewings and Ulsan Hyundai.
Ange Postecoglou’s Yokohama F.Marinos and FC Tokyo will be among Japan’s representatives, while Fabio Cannavaro’s Guangzhou Evergrande and Beijing FC will be two of three clubs flying the flag for China.
Other confirmed direct entrants include Chiangrai United of Thailand and Malaysian Super League powerhouse, Johor.
In addition to the anticipated stream via the AFC YouTube channel, we will also be tweeting all the colour and excitement of the draw event live from Kuala Lumpur, so make sure you join us on the Glory Twitter page HERE.
