Next week sees the start of the 2020 Asian Champions League as the Preliminary rounds in both regions get underway. In the East region we have teams from The Philippines, Myanmar, Singapore and Indonesia clashing in the pursuit of glory and riches beyond the expectations of even the most optimistic among them.
