[[Muharraq Club|Al-Muharraq]] defeated [[Safa Sporting Club|Safa]] 10–5 on aggregate in the final, with Brazilian striker [[Leandson Dias da Silva|Rico]] scoring six of the clubs ten goals over the two legs. This marked the first time a club from Bahrain won an AFC Club competition. Both finalists initially qualified for the qualifying play-off round in the [[2009 AFC Champions League]], but were later demoted to the [[2009 AFC Cup]] as neither clubs leagues met the AFC's Champions League criteria.
[[Shabab Al Ordon Al Qadisiya|Shabab Al-Ordon]] were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the group stage of the competition.
==Qualified teams== The league champions and cup winners from the thirteen 'developing' (as determined by the [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]]) were eligible to participate in the competition. As Indonesian clubs withdrew from the [[2008 AFC Champions League]], the following changes were made:
* The second ranked teams from Thailand ([[Krung Thai Bank F.C.|Krung Thai Bank]]) and Vietnam ([[Thep Xanh Nam Dinh F.C.|Nam Định]]) were reassigned from the AFC Cup to the AFC Champions League. * Turkmenistan were excluded from the competition, as its clubs would now participate in the AFC President's Cup. * Clubs from India would participate in the West Asian zone.
