BU-Kilen objected to the ball, disqualified from the ACL Propose a new solution to the quota next year.
From the case that Thai League Co., Ltd. announces the change of rights to join the AFC battle Champions League 2023-24 on Saturday 21 May past. due to the change in the competition period In the new season of the Asian Football Federation (AFC) season 2023-24, the Thai League has announced to the public. which is based on the principles presented to the member clubs from the first time but did not bring any suggestions or objections of many member clubs to modify in any way
Recently, Muangthong United and True Bangkok United have come out to express their mutual stand as a team that has been affected by the loss of that right. for the fans of both clubs Understand that the club has done its best to maintain this right. After not receiving fairness from Thai League Company Limited who changed the right to go to the Asian Club Cup
The first meeting was held on 29 April 65, Thai League Company Limited has clarified in a meeting with Thai League 1 member clubs who have the opportunity to win the right to compete in the AFC Champions League to discuss which The Thai League Co., Ltd. has given reasons for the idea to immediately modify the rights from this season. and was born before the last 2 Thai League football matches of the season directly affect the member's club
As for the guidelines that Thai League Company Limited has presented to the club members at the first meeting. It is proposed to divide the rights to the AFC Champions League into 1+1 in the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons, giving the Thai League champions the right to play in the group stages and the FA Cup winners the right to play around the play. Jersey and in the event that the championship team from each item is duplicated To pull the team from the reserve quota in the next order up to plug instead. Despite many clubs objecting to this approach, Thai League Company Limited submitted a letter to the AFC on May 11, 65, suggesting that it should immediately consider the guidelines for allocation of the said quota.
By the way, Muangthong stated that "the quota disqualification It is a disqualification that creates unfairness. The disqualification of the club to participate in the AFC competition. This Champions League has a direct impact on the success of teams, players, supporters and fans. I want the Football Association Consider revising the guidelines for the clubs that qualify. Because every team has a goal that they want to play in the Asian tournament.”
“Previously, the rules of competition have been set since the start of the season. until the competition continues until the season Back to change the rules in the ACL quota, which the first meeting the club has already objected to. But the second meeting with the invitation of teams that are in the quota to win Muangthong was not invited to attend the meeting. And I know that there are not many teams that have called for the meeting. In addition to Muangthong that was not invited to the meeting Nakhon Ratchasima Mazda FC was not invited to the meeting as well, with S.Ball claiming that the ACL quota has not yet been reached.
"Muang Thong United Club has a resolution to express disagreement with the said approach. As these are rules, regulations, pre-announced competitions where all teams compete under these conditions have ended the season. And most importantly, the AFC quota belongs to the 2021-22 season, only postponing the competition from February. And it does not follow the conclusion of the majority of stake clubs formed by the meeting.
"Therefore, I would like to request the Thai League Company Limited to review the said guidelines again. In order to modify the right to participate in the AFC Champions League football competitions according to the rules of competition announced before the start of the season. And to be fair to all member clubs, the 2022-23 season that has not yet started can find a new approach."
While on the True side, Bangkok United also revealed that “The club would like to express its stance against this approach. As it did not meet the conclusion of the majority of the top 1-4 Thai League 1 clubs in the 2021-22 season based on priorities in accordance with sporting criteria, the club would like to ask the Thai League to review the guidelines again. so that the adjustment of eligibility to participate in ACL 2023-24 football is equitable and fair to the member clubs in accordance with the AFC Guidelines.
“This time, the club hopes to take the team to the play-off round for the first time in the club's history. to win in passing to the next group stage But if you change the right like this Despite the fact that the rules were announced before the 2021-22 season, it is unfortunate that this change in rights may prevent us from competing in this tournament again.
The AFC has a reply letter. along with reiterating the message that Any decision must be based on the principles of Sporting Merit, Objectivity, Transparency, Non-Discrimination. (Non-discrimination), although the supreme power is at the Football Association of that country.
For True Bangkok United, finishing third in the Thai League 2021-22, in principle, must have the right to go to the AFC battle. Champions League play-off round, as well as Muangthong United, who finished 4th in the Thai League 2021-22 and got the quota to play AFC Champions League After Buriram United won 2 trophies, both Thai League and Chang FA Cup.
