The Asian Champions League pushed back the start of its Eastern zone knock-out rounds on Monday after the competition was severely disrupted by the novel coronavirus.
Extra dates for group games were scheduled for May and June, shunting the round of 16, which usually takes place in May, to August.
It is just the latest reshuffle for Asia's premier club football competition as it struggles to accommodate a raft of postponements.
Chinese teams have been mostly sidelined until April, and games involving two South Korean clubs have also been delayed.
"These are challenging and unprecedented times," Asian Football Confederation (AFC) general Windsor John said in a statement, after emergency talks in Kuala Lumpur.
"The AFC will not put anyone at risk during these times of heightened health concerns and so we have taken some sensible decisions to postpone both matches and events."
