1971 (a group match and the final) when Arab clubs had forfeited against Israeli clubs, the AFC excluded both Al-Qadsia and Racing Beirut. </p><p>This left only four teams to participate (two in each group): consequently, the <a href="/wiki/Football_Federation_Islamic_Republic_of_Iran" title="Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran">Football Federation of Iran</a> no longer considered it viable to invest its share of the money and resources required for the tournament - including half of Maccabi, Korea University and Port Authority's flight expenses to and from Tehran - due to the likely heavy financial losses. </p><p>On 2 April 1972, the AFC informed the remaining four teams that the competition was postponed, and it was ultimately cancelled.<sup id="cite_ref-Davar2_3-0"
