The Asian Football Confederation has banned reigning Asian Champions League holders Jeonbuk Motors from competing in the 2017 edition of the tournament.
Korea-based Jeonbuk, who are owned by automotive manufacturer Hyundai, have been hit with a nine-point deduction and $90,000 fine by the K-League due to the club's involvement in a major bribery scandal.
The decision to ban Jeonbuk from continental competition was made by an independent law-making entity, the Entry Control Body.
The scandal has seen a Jeonbuk scout handed a suspended six-month prison sentence on bribery charges
