On 8 November 2006, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors won the AFC Champions League title after beating Al-Karamah 3-2 on aggregate. It was their first ever title. Jeonbuk also became the first team in history of Asia to have won the Champions League before the national league title (winning their first K-League championship three years later, in 2009).
Format
- Group Stage
A total of 28 clubs were divided into 7 groups of four* based on region i.e. East Asian and Southeast Asian clubs were drawn in groups E to G, while the rest were grouped in groups A to D. Each club played double round-robin (home and away) against fellow three group members, a total of 6 matches each. Clubs received 3pts for a win, 1pt for a tie, 0pts for a loss. The clubs were ranked according to points and tie breakers were in the following order:
- Points earned between the clubs in question
- Goal Differential between the clubs in question
- Goals For between the clubs in question
- Points earned within the group
- Goal Differential within the group
- Goals For within the group
The seven group winners along with the defending champion advanced to the quarter-finals.
*Since two clubs from group F and two clubs from group G were disqualified, the remaining clubs in group F and G played against each other home and away.
- Knockout Round
All 8 clubs were randomly matched; however, the only restriction was that the clubs from the same country could not face each other in the quarter-finals. The games were conducted in 2 legs, home and away, and the aggregate score decided the match winner. If the aggregate score couldn't produce a winner, "away goals rule" was used. If still tied, clubs played extra time, where "away goals rule" still applied. If still tied, the game went to penalties.
