Mariners in ACL

[marinermick]

Am I right is assuming that even if we don’t win the FFA Cup, we can make the ACL qualifiers if Sydney or the Plastics win the FFA Cup?

Not sure about that, but I doubt it will actually be the Asian Champions League if we do. Our coefficient is so low it will probably be to the AFC Cup.

I was referring to the qualifying match that gets you to the Champions League.

Good question. I haven’t really seen that discussed or outlined anywhere.

I thought that kicked in for the 2023 iteration.

It has been confirmed by the cub’s new awesome media manager that the Mariners will indeed grab a playoff spot for the ACL if:
1. They win the FFA Cup
2. Sydney FC win the FFA Cup
3. Melbourne City win the FFA Cup
4. For whatever reason (eg Covid) the FFA Cup gets cancelled.

I don’t mind those odds. Either of those sides would be decent odds for a deep run in the cup and look good so far.

Wowsers - that's a real shot at it

Can we end up playing one or other in the final?

If Wellington still can't play in Asia we can increase the odds even more...

 

[marinermick]

Can we end up playing one or other in the final?

Yes, possible. Then we qualify before that final is finished because it would be scenario one, two, or three that I laid out.

Yeah, just reading that on Reddit.

Makes Stajs decision all the more baffling

 

[Avoca]

Yeah, just reading that on Reddit.

In short:

“Melbourne City have qualified directly for the 2022 AFC Champions League group stage. Sydney FC can qualify through a qualifying play-off while Central Coast Mariners have a possible qualification position.”

Possible?

 

[Michael]

Yeah more information on the “possible” would be handy.

Means you need to win a play off game to qualify if the FFA cup games go the way Mick suggested above. Otherwise the position goes to the cup winner
