According to the draw results, CAHN is in Group E with opponents Beijing FC (China), Macarthur FC (Australia) and Tai Po FC of Hong Kong (China). This is a group that is considered relatively difficult for the police team.

Meanwhile, another representative of V-League is Nam Dinh Blue Steel in Group F with opponents Gamba Osaka (Japan), Ratchaburi FC (Thailand) and Eastern FC of Hong Kong (China). This group is also not easy for coach Vu Hong Viet's team.
