AFC announced the MA ranking in November 2014, using the October 2014 FIFA ranking for the NT ranking part of the formula.
The 2016 edition of the MA ranking, set to be announced at the end of the AFC club competition season, will be used to determine the slot allocations for 2017 and 2018 seasons. This had been announced by the AFC Competitions Committee on 12 April 2016.
