Myanmar state of emergency and covid spike forces changes to AFC club draws
April 30 – Political unrest in the country has forced the Myanmar Football Federation (MFF) to pull out its two clubs – Hantharwady United FC and Shan United FC – from the 2021 AFC Cup and AFC Champions League, respectively.
The AFC Competitions Committee “noted and acknowledged the challenges as well as the present complexities caused by the state of emergency in Myanmar and decided that the situation constituted an event of force majeure.”
As a result Australia’s Melbourne City will now advance to the Playoff stage where they will face Cerezo Osaka from Japan.
