Soccer: AFC Cup, Summary and Data

Information about the AFC Cup with the last 10 winners of the competition, the teams with the most trophies won in the history of the tournment and an index to every final played.

The AFC Cup is an annual international association soccer competition between domestic clubs sides run by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). Qualification to the competition is to clubs from AFC-affiliated countries which fall into the AFC's 'developing nations' category as laid out in their 'Vision Asia' document. Countries which are 'mature' nations are entered into the AFC Champions League, and countries which are 'emerging' nations are entered into the AFC President's Cup. The 'developing nations' are the fourteen 'next-best' countries which lie outside the top-14 countries in the AFC region which send their club sides to the more prestigious AFC Champions League.

The format of the AFC Cup is the same as that for the AFC Champions League. Each country sends two teams representing the domestic league winners and the cup winners. The participating teams are split into seven groups of three or four (depending on the actual number of participating teams in each group), with each team playing the others in the group in a round robin format. The winners of each group enter into the quarter finals along with the defending champions. The quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals are played as a knockout competition.
