Notes
[edit]- ^ The AFC announced on 29 January 2020 that the group stage matches which Chinese teams were supposed to host on matchdays 1, 2 and 3 would be switched with the corresponding away matches due to the coronavirus outbreak in China.[22][23] After the Australian federal government banned foreigners travelling from China, Football Federation Australia told the AFC that Australia could no longer host matches against Chinese teams.[24] The AFC held an emergency meeting on 4 February 2020 to determine plans for the tournament, including but not limited to re-scheduling of matches in the East Region.[25] After the meeting, the AFC decided to postpone matches involving Chinese clubs from the first three match days except for Chiangrai United versus Beijing FC.[26][27]
