AFC Cup slots decided for 2015-2016 editions

The decisions were based on the AFC Member Associations Ranking 2014, the AFC Cup 2015 Qualifying Round for the play-offs (the AFC President's Cup 2014) and club entry for participation in the AFC Cup 2015.

The Competitions Committee awarded Iraq two places in the AFC Cup’s next edition after the Member Association failed to land slot allocations for the AFC Champions League due to their eligible clubs not being granted a club license.
