Arab Champions' League 2004/05


There appears to be no more distinction between African and Asian sections.
NB: Iraq were to have three representatives; ART invited Al-Talaba and
    the Iraqi FA designed Arbil and Al-Najaf (leaders of the Northern 
    and Southern groups when the domestic championship was abandoned in
    spring 2004), but these two were refused by the Arab FA (ostensibly
    preferring two Baghdad teams from the Central groups); the Iraqi FA 
    then withdrew all three representatives and were subsequently
    suspended from the Arab organisation.
