    Under the new structure, the competition will continue to be divided equally, with 16 teams each in the East and West Regions.

    "This increase in scale is intended to provide opportunities for elite clubs to compete against the continent's best, while simultaneously incentivising higher standards of professionalism and performance within domestic leagues across Asia," the AFC said in a statement.
