An association may participate in both the AFC Champions League and the AFC Cup if it only partially fulfills the AFC Champions League criteria. - An association originally participating in the [AFC President's Cup](/source/AFC_President's_Cup) may apply to participate in the 2013 AFC Cup. The following changes in the participating associations were made compared to the previous year: - Losers of the AFC Champions League qualifying play-off did not participate in the AFC Cup. - [Tajikistan](/source/Tajikistan_Football_Federation) clubs' participation was upgraded from the AFC President's Cup to the AFC Cup starting from 2013 by the AFC.[4] Each participating association was given two entries: - Team 1 (league champions) of each association directly entered the group stage. - Team 2 (cup winners or league runners-up) of each association either directly entered the group stage or entered the qualifying play-off, depending on the evaluation by the AFC.

The winner advanced to the [group stage](#Group_stage) to join the 31 automatic qualifiers.[1] Due to the withdrawal of [Al-Muharraq](/source/Al-Muharraq_SC) after the draw was held, [Regar-TadAZ](/source/Regar-TadAZ_Tursunzoda), which were initially drawn to play the winner between [Al-Wahda](/source/Al-Wahda_SC_Damascus) and [Al-Ahli Taizz](/source/Al-Ahli_Taizz_S.C.) for a place in the group stage, were directly entered into Group A, while the winner between Al-Wahda and Al-Ahli Taizz would be entered into Group B to replace Al-Muharraq.[10] Team 1 Score Team 2 Al-Wahda 3–5 Al-Ahli Taizz ## Group stage Main article: [2013 AFC Cup group stage](/source/2013_AFC_Cup_group_stage) The draw for the group stage was held on 6 December 2012.[9] The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four.

The winners and runners-up of each group advanced to the [round of 16](#Knock-out_stage). **Tiebreakers** The teams are ranked according to [points](/source/Points_(association_football)) (3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss).

Greater number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned ([away goals](/source/Away_goals_rule) do not apply) 1. Goal difference in all the group matches 1.
