AFC Cup

So the travel subsidy is unlikely to cover anywhere near the actual cost of a squad travelling across Asia and the required accommodation is it?

Probably not - but it is per game.

Phase	Purse (USD)	Travel subsidy
(per match)
Preliminary stage	N/A	$30,000​
Play-offs	N/A	$30,000​
Group stage	N/A	$30,000​
Knockout stage	Zonal champions: $100,000	$40,000​
Final	Champions: $1.5 million	$40,000​
	Runners-up: $750,000	$40,000​

30 grand won't go far. 20 flights at $1500.

Bit off the mark there. No way we are paying $USD1500 per person for a return fare to Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia. Thats $2240AUD per person. They are not travelling on public retail fares, they will be on commercial, contracted group fares and not restricted (hopefully) by the A League and Football Australia contracts that are in place.

The AUD44,000 subsidy will adequately cover player and staff air fares (economy), accommodation, meals and ground transportation for a 3 day trip.

Didn't realise it was USD. Taking how many people? 30 incl staff? I reckon you'll be doing well to cover everything for less than 1500 aud per head. Maybe for some countries...maybe.

How did we land in pot 4? Unlucky for whoever lands on us rather than a play off winner. Are there any rules to stop us ending up in the same group as Macarthur?

Can’t play someone from your own country so we have a fifty fifty chance of going to Bali or Singapore.

Singapore ??
Fewer bogans

 

[midfielder]

Do clubs need to cover their own costs ?
We lost money last time we were in Asia IIRC

In part because the crowds were woeful...

If we can pull 6 to 8 k per home game its looking good... if we pull 1.5 to 2 k we lose big time...

The MSM last time never rated it added to mid week games.... + competition from the NRL ....

IMO needs lots of hand outs at local clubs with key dates ....

 

[turbo]

Pot 4 also means no chance of a match up with Cummings until after the group stages. Mohun Bagan needs to go through 2 qualifiers to get there and would be in pot 4 as well should they make it in.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Cumdog back home in the latter stages?
Sign me up

India are in the South Asia zone - different pots.

Ahh right so this is only the ASEAN zone. This comp will take a little to get used to and makes the ACL East / West split look clean.

For those of me who have no clue - where do PO1 and PO2 winners come from?

I tried looking up info but can't even find a website for the comp. Keep getting taken to AFC Asian Cup or Asia Cup in cricket. How many damn cups do they need!

Yeah its not ideal trying to search it. This will help - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023–24_AFC_Cup

Where did you get that from mick? They really need to change the name of this cup to something distinctive.

PO1 and PO2 have to go through a couple of qualifying rounds akin to the ones we used to play to get into the ACL.

So could be one of:

Phonm Penh Crown (Cambodia) or Young Elephants (Laos) for PO1

Yangon United (Myanmar) or Kasuka (Brunei) for PO2.

Both matches take place on the 16th of August supposedly.

 

[priorpeter]

No Laos away - damn.
