Chinese Super League outfit Tianjin Quanjian's home AFC Champions League clash with Kashima Antlers has been moved to the Macao Olympic Complex Stadium due to a scheduling conflict with the Summer Davos.
The Asian Football Confederation confirmed on Monday night through its official Weibo account that the fixture will be played in China's Macao on September 18.
Tianjin will host the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as the Summer Davos, from September 18 to 20.
Tianjin Quanjian were outclassed in every department at the Kashima Soccer Stadium last Tuesday, suffering a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Kashima Antlers in the first leg of the quarter-finals.

With the second leg to come at the Macao Olympic Complex Stadium, Tianjin Quanjian insist that they still have a chance of overturning the deficit and reaching the semi-finals for the first time in the club's history.
"It is extremely regrettable that we could not play this crucial match in Tianjin, but we are deeply convinced that wherever we play, we will feel at home as long as we set foot on Chinese soil," read a Tianjin Quanjian statement.
"We have never been crushed by any sudden disruption. The club will make quick adjustmens and strive to put in a great performance in this match in China's Macao."
