the AFC Club Licensing Manual;

or clubs and which criteria);

Regulations” and adapt it accordingly, if available;

specific needs and the existing quality of domestic competitions;
7. Exchange opinions and experiences with AFC and other AFC member
associations;
8. Set-up a working plan for the implementation of the new National Club
