In an online meeting chaired by Tran Quoc Tuan, the committee decided to conduct the seventh and eighth matchdays of the qualifiers in March 2021. The ninth and tenth matchdays will be held in June 2021.
AFC had earlier chalked out a schedule to hold the remaining matches in October and November but they had to postpone due to the difficulties caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.
