Seoul: FC Seoul’s Go Yo-han has vowed his team will look to go undefeated at their Seoul World Cup Stadium home when the 2020 AFC Champions League resumes as the former finalists seek to return to the pinnacle of the Asian club scene.
The K-League club won their opening Group E encounter with Melbourne Victory last month before proceedings were halted due to the COVID-19 outbreak, but Go is confident FC Seoul can make their home form count as they attempt to seal a place in the knockout rounds.

Suwon: With the 2020 AFC Champions League on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Suwon Samsung Bluewings defender Doneil Henry is hoping to use the time available over the coming weeks to make the changes necessary to bounce back from a disappointing start to the competition.
Suwon slipped to narrow defeats in their opening Group G games against both Japan’s Vissel Kobe and Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta’zim before a halt was called to proceedings as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
And while uncertainty remains over when the competition will resume, central defender Henry believes he and his Suwon teammates can use the current situation to their advantage as they seek to iron out some early-season teething problems.

Tokyo: The J.League has announced that it will suspend relegation for the 2020 season, while allowing teams in the second and third divisions to battle it out for promotion.

The 2020 season, which began in February, was postponed two days later due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and J.League Chairman Mitsuru Murai said the decision to permit promotion will encourage players to compete in such a situation, while protecting clubs from events out of their control.
