Elit OCHL. How will it continue from now on?
The Elit Asian Champions League Round of 16, held in a home-and-away format, has come to an end.
According to the results of the group stage matches, 16 teams from the West and East regions advanced to the next stage. After the Round of 16 matches, 8 clubs bid farewell to the tournament.

In the West, "Al Wasl" (UAE), "Istiqlol" (Iran), "Al Rayyan" (Qatar), and "Pakhtakor" (Uzbekistan) ended their participation at this stage, while in the East, "Shanghai Port" (China), "Shanghai Shenhua" (China), "Johor Darul Ta'zim" (Malaysia), and "Vissel Kobe" (Japan) concluded their tournament in the quarter-finals.
