AFC eChampions League Elite
Following the remarkable success of the AFC eAsian Cup, which took place in Doha during the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023™, the eACL Elite is set to add to the excitement of the AFC Champions League Elite™ Finals Jeddah 2025, where the Continent’s eight best teams will convene for the centralised knockout stage from April 25 to May 3.
Emulating the format of the ACL Elite, the virtual showdowns will see the participating teams divided into West and East regions to compete in 1v1 clashes on gaming consoles using KONAMI’s eFootball™ 2025 video game.
The event will exclusively feature teams representing clubs that participated in the 2024/25 edition of the ACL Elite, offering them a chance to claim glory on the virtual stage—especially for those seeking redemption after exiting the competition.
Keeping in line with Asia’s premier men’s club competition, the eACL Elite will also see teams play against each other in their respective regions, with the top eight sides qualifying for the knockout stage, where each match will follow a best-of-three format.
With the launch of the eACL Elite, the AFC will take another step forward in expanding its digital frontiers and add a new chapter to its already storied legacy.
