Following the decision by FIFA to suspend the FA of Kuwait and its members from all football activities, Kuwait SC and Qadsia SC are no longer eligible to compete in the AFC Cup semi-finals.

The AFC Cup final will now be between Johor Darul Ta'zim and FC Istiklol of Tajikistan. The final will be played on Oct 31 in Dushanbe in Tajikistan.

JDT lost 3-1 in the first leg to the defending champions last month. The return leg was supposed to be played at Larkin Stadium on Tuesday.

However with FIFA's decision the match has been cancelled.
