Competition format
The eight teams are split into two groups, and each team in the group plays each other team in their group once. The winner in each group plays the runner up in the other group in the semi finals, and the winner of the semi finals play each other to determine the winner of the competition. There is no match for third place.
Qualification
Qualification to the competition is to clubs from AFC-afilliated countries which fall into the AFC's 'emerging nations' category as laid out in their 'Vision Asia' document. Countries which are 'mature' and 'developing' nations are entered into the AFC Champions League and the AFC Cup, respectively. For an 'emerging nation' to have a team representing it in the competition, however, the country must have an acceptable football league. The team that represents a country in one season of the competition is the defending champion of the top-level leagues of participating countries.
