The 2006 AFC Champions League was the 25th edition of the top-level Asian club football tournament and the fourth edition under the current AFC Champions League title. Al-Ittihad automatically qualified for the quarter-finals as the title holders.

Contents

Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors won their first AFC Champions League title after beating Al-Karamah 3–2 on aggregate in the final. Jeonbuk also became the first team in history of Asia to have won the Champions League before the national league title (they won their first K League championship three years later, in 2009).

Format

Group stage

A total of 28 clubs were divided into seven groups of four, [lower-alpha 1] according to the region. Each club played double round-robin (home and away) against fellow three group members for a total of six matches. Clubs received three points for a win, one for a tie, and no points for a loss. The clubs were ranked according to points. If two or more teams were tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria was applied:

The seven group winners along with the defending champion advanced to the quarter-finals.

Knockout round

All 8 clubs were randomly matched; however, the only restriction was that the clubs from the same country could not face each other in the quarter-finals. The games were played over two legs, home and away, and the aggregate score decided the winner. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was used. If still tied, clubs played extra time, where the away goals rule still applied. If still tied, the game went to penalties.

  1. As two clubs from Group F and two clubs from Group G were disqualified, the remaining clubs in these groups played each other home and away.

Notes
    1. ^
      The two clubs from Indonesia (Persipura Jayapura and Arema Malang) and the two clubs from Thailand (TTM FC and PEA FC) were disqualified from the competition by the AFC for failing to submit their player registration forms in time. Consequently, Groups F and G only have two teams each.
