However, India won't have any slots in the AFC Champions League Elite or the AFC Challenge League, which makes a return after a decade.

India secures two berths in the AFC Champions League 2 2024-25, formerly known as the AFC Cup, as per the latest AFC Club Competitions Ranking. With a ranking of 17th in West Asia and 22.806 points, India clinches these spots. Saudi Arabia leads with 103.148 points, but India misses out on the AFC Champions League Elite due to their lower ranking.
