KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Kawasaki Frontale will aim to prolong Japan's dominance of the Asian Champions League (ACL) when the double J-League winners play Shanghai SIPG of China and Australia's Sydney FC in the group phase of next year's continental championship.
Frontale, J-League champions in 2017 and 2018, will also face the winners of a playoff involving clubs from South Korea, Malaysia and Hong Kong after Thursday's draw as they seek to become the third Japanese ACL title holders in a row.
