ACL draw revealed for Hyundai A-League clubs

Defending Hyundai A-League Champions Adelaide United are in Group H and will face Jiangsu FC (China), Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors (Korea Republic) and a playoff winner (TBD). Brisbane Roar are still in the running to qualify for the Group Stages but face an uphill battle to join their fellow Hyundai A-League clubs in the tournament proper. John Aloisis side will play the winner of Global (Philippines) and Tampines Rovers (Singapore) in a playoff and, if successful, a one-off clash away to Chinese powerhouse Shanghai Shenhua awaits.
