2021–22 AEFA Champions' League
The 2021–22 AEFA Champions' League was the eleventh edition of the AEFA Champions' League, which began in October 2021 with the group stage and culminated with the final in May 2022. Thirty-two teams participated in the competition from fifteen nations.
Allocation of clubs
The number of berths awarded to each AEFA member depended on that nation's FMF club coefficient. The highest-ranked leagues received up to three berths each, whilst lower ranked nations would receive fewer places. Furthermore, nations that do not organise their own domestic leagues, whose clubs play in the domestic league of another member, would only be allocated one place.
