Korean club Pohang to face Vietnamese side in AFC Champions League playoff
By KH디지털2Published : Feb. 3, 2016 - 10:14
South Korean side Pohang Steelers will battle a Vietnamese team for a spot at Asia's top club football competition.
Pohang, representing the first-division K League Classic, will take on Hanoi T&T in the final playoff for the Asian Football Confederation Champions League. Hanoi T&T defeated Kitchee of Hong Kong 1-0 in the earlier playoff match Tuesday.
The kickoff for the one-and-done match between Pohang and Hanoi will be 2 p.m. next Tuesday at Pohang Steel Yard in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province. The winner of that showdown will be paired with Guangzhou Evergrande of China, Sydney FC of Australia and Urawa Red Diamonds of Japan.
Three other K League Classic clubs have already qualified for the group stage: the 2015 league champion Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, the league runner-up Suwon Samsung Bluewings and the reigning FA Cup winner FC Seoul.
The group stage will go on from February to May, and the knockout stage will be first played on May 17. The two-leg final is set for November. (Yonhap)
