@BadrBalobaid But the home-and-away system in Asia only attracted around 10,000 spectators, which had no impact. Thanks to the centralized format, clubs now benefit from significantly higher prize money and a premium competition environment.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 هناك حملة يقودها إعلام شرق القارة على الاتحاد الآسيوي مستند على ضعف الحضور الجماهيري بالغرب رسالتي لجمهور جدة: هناك من يراهن على ضعف الحضور وخطأ اختيار جدة للتجمع فلا تصادقوا على الرواية. مع #الأهلي و #الاتحاد على الأقل املؤوا المدرجات فهو الرد الحقيقي، مش كل مرة بتلعب البطولة على ارضك وبين جمهورك. #دوري_أبطال_آسيا_للنخبة #الاتحاد_ماتشيدا #الاهلي_جوهور

@soccerrealgogo @TheAFCCL Home and away will save the Asian football? I have watched so many ACL matches of Japanese clubs with fewer than 10k people in their stadium.

@TheAFCCL If matches are only held in the Middle East, will Asian football truly develop? The AFC is blinded by money and doesn't take Asian football seriously! Have any Middle Eastern teams performed well in recent World Cups? Never.

𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗗𝗔𝗬 It’s quarter-final time as 🇯🇵 Machida Zelvia take on 🇸🇦 Al Ittihad in a huge battle for a spot in the semi-finals! Who will rise to the challenge? #ACLElite | #MACvITH

@Mike_Tuckerman Let’s be honest. Melbourne City FC has had the lowest attendance in the ACL Elite.

The essential takeover of Asian football by West Asian powerbrokers has resulted in one of the most detrimental attitudes in the game: that crowds don’t matter. And if we don’t think it’s a mindset that exists in Australia, then we’ve not been paying attention to Melbourne City.

@TheAsianGame @mcintinhos Whether it is backed by financial might or not, Asian football needs more clubs like Machida Zelvia. Proper investment and management.

Three years ago Machida Zelvia were in J2. Now they're in the #ACLElite QF. But backed by the financial might of one of Japan's biggest online companies, is it a 'fairytale'? 📝 Revisit @mcintinhos profile from their debut J1 season in 2024. ➡️ theasiangame.net/ugly-ducklings…

@FootballTribeJP I am a fan of J.League clubs. But let’s be honest.. this time, the match scheduling clearly favors Vissel Kobe. They are playing against a team that went to extra time just three days ago, and they also have more rest days than others until the final. So don’t act like victim..

🚨【物議】 ヴィッセル神戸勝利の裏でAFCに批判殺到！ 中東代理人が不公平指摘 🗣️「○○は最大の不公平であり、ACLEの価値を下げている要因」 ✅ 試合2日前の会場変更も物議 ✅ ACLEの「構造的欠陥」とは？ #ヴィッセル神戸 #ACLE #AFC football-tribe.com/japan/2026/04/…

@k5o5b5e Congrats!

アドレナリン出まくって全然眠くない！！ 劇的勝利過ぎた

@mana_taku Congrats, Vissel Kobe fans. It was an epic match.

お姫様スタジアムは綺麗でした とにかく今日は歓び楽しみます！

@PaulWilliams_85 It is a bit funny that so many people believe the home and away format will save Asian football, when the old ACL already proved otherwise. Just think about all the home matches of Melbourne city fc in this season, they were played in empty stadiums.

Last night's epic between Al Sadd & Vissel Kobe had all the ingredients you'd want from a continental QF, enough to make it a modern classic. All, that is, except for a crowd. Asian football deserves better.

@FootyRankings @PaulWilliams_85 I agree with the footy rankings. I feel the quality of football and the level of seriousness are much higher than before. I remember that in the home-and-away format in the old ACL, there were so many matches with around just 3,000 spectators.

@PaulWilliams_85 I feel like with the centralized format, it make teams take it seriously, instead of having to travel cross continent in the midst of their domestic season. Of course crowd support is important too, but can't think of the solution for both things

@tevand95 @rationalbiohack @JSoccerMagazine @JInsiderBR Hey bro, it’ll be the same in Japan or Korea. A match between Australian and Qatari clubs would draw around 2,000 fans in Tokyo or Seoul. This isn’t Europe.

@rationalbiohack @JSoccerMagazine @JInsiderBR @GoalLineGainer Im sick of games going to Saudi. Fuck this shit off. Give it to Japan or Korea who do it better

Uma pena que o Vissel Kobe não poder contar com esse apoio porque a AFC decidiu que é uma boa ideia colocar todos os jogos na casa de dois dos participantes e que fica ha mais de 9 mil km de Kobe...

@JSoccerMagazine Check out the quarter-final matches in the home and away format before. There were so many games played without interest, even in Japan. I appreciate this premium centralized tournaments. The excitement is here.

As for “empty stadium” … cameras obviously intentionally avoiding any wide view of fans, just close-ups on groups, but two stands visible are 99% empty. Sadd(!) to see.

Rafa Mujica with a superb finish to give Al-Sadd a lead early on, Osaka heads home the 1-1 goal on 24 minutes. End to end, in cavernous, empty stadium in ACL.

@JSoccerMagazine @JInsiderBR Sadly, it’s a fact that this centralized format has attracted more spectators than the home and away format. I enjoy this premium quarter-final model much more.

@JInsiderBR @GoalLineGainer I’m sure AFC didn’t want this view of the empty stands … just before 2nd half KO.

@JInsiderBR You have no idea about Football and Asia. You’d better change your channel name to “J League Outsider,” not “Insider” 😂

@GoalLineGainer Sim, muito melhor ter uma final Urawa vs Al Hilal só na casa do Al Hilal né? Muito mais justo realmente!

@JInsiderBR Hahaha… imagine an ACL final like Urawa vs Al Hilal being played in Hanoi stadium, Vietnam, with no fans. Are you serious? Do you really think that model works in Asia? This isn’t Europe.

Um país neutro implica em um país que não possui representantes na competição, ou pelo menos não nesta fase. Logo qualquer país que não possua times nas quartas de final poderia receber como um verdadeiro campo neutro. Coreia do Sul, China, Vietnã, Tailandia, Indonésia, Singapura...todos esses países seriam melhores para receber do que Japão, Arábia Saudita... Mas que tal se SÓ A FINAL FOR EM CAMPO NEUTRO? Que nem uma competição de verdade? "Ain, mas o modelo ida e volta se mostrou falho!" Você pode me apontar uma falha do modelo ida e volta?

@JInsiderBR Do you have any recommendations for a truly neutral country to host centralized tournaments? Are you talking about North Korea or England as a neutral country? 😂😂😂

@GoalLineGainer 😂😂😂😂 Se fosse em um país realmente neutro, eu não discordaria

@richvirus2 어제 하루 4.2억 수익을 올렸다. 감사합니다.

6년 넘게 테슬라 투자를 이어오고 있지만...주가하락은 참 적응이 안된다. 목표수량을 채우고 나니 주가하락에 마음이 더 힘든 것 같다.. 전에는 하락할때마다 매수,매수를 외치며 추매했는데 지금은 더 투자할 자금도 충분치 않고..그러다보니 이번 하락에 마음이 많이 심란했다. 200불대를 다시 갈수도 있겠구나 스스로 각오를 다지고 아이들은 아직 못 채운 수량을 싸게 채울수 있는 기회다라고 마음을 다잡은 이번주,극적으로 다시 상승을 시작한 테슬라~ 오늘, 내일 주가는 또 꺽일 수 있지만 별다른 호재가 없는 상태에서 7%의 주가상승은 마음 한 켠에 안도를 선물해준다. 주식투자...부동산 투자처럼 하면 되지 싶었는데 너무 많은 소식들과 의견들을 매일 접하게 되니 마음이 흔들리는 건 어쩔 수 없는 듯.... 그 동안 하락으로 계좌가 많이 쪼그라들긴 했지만, 오늘 하루 7% 상승으로 계좌는 어제보다 2억가량 늘어났다... 오늘은 즐거운 마음으로 하루를 보내야겠다~^^

@InTheMixer You have no idea..

Japan, Korea, Australia and any other East Asian nation that wants to should join the Oceania confederation. The Asian confederation literally just exists to cater to the middle Eastern nations. #Socceroos #BestLeagueInTheWorld

@Riria_Hikari And the group stage draw will also be exciting.

これはJリーグ枠が3→4に増えるかも！？ また、大会としても面白味を増しそうです！ 今までは12中8チームがラウンド16にストレートで進めたので、正直ドキドキが足りないと思っていました。 16中6チームしかストレートインできないのは、ドキドキ感が増して、大会としては盛り上がりそう！
