The '''Asian Football Confederation''' ('''AFC''') is the governing body of [[association football]] in [[Asia]]. It has 47 member countries, mostly located on the Asian continent. All the [[List of transcontinental countries#Asia and Europe|transcontinental countries]] with territory in both Europe and Asia are members of [[UEFA]] ([[Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan|Azerbaijan]], [[Football Federation of Armenia|Armenia]], [[Georgian Football Federation|Georgia]], [[Football Federation of Kazakhstan|Kazakhstan]], [[Russian Football Union|Russia]], and [[Turkish Football Federation|Turkey]]). [[Israel Football Association|Israel]] is also a UEFA member even though it lies entirely in Asia, as is arguably also the case for [[Cyprus Football Association|Cyprus]].

==History==
The Asian Football Confederation was founded on 8 May 1954.

The Asian Ladies Football Confederation (ALFC) is the section of the AFC who manage [[women's football (soccer)|women's football]] in Asia. The group was independently founded in April 1968 in a meeting involving [[Taiwan]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Malaysia]] and [[Singapore]]. In 1986 the ALFC merged with the AFC.<ref>http://www.asiansportsnet.com/football-soccer/</ref> The Asian Ladies Football Confederation helped organise the [[AFC Women's Asian Cup]], first held in 1975, as well as the AFC's [[AFC U-19 Women's Championship]] and the [[AFC U-17 Women's Championship]].

The AFC runs the [[Asian Cup]], a competition for the national football teams of Asia held every four years, as well as the [[2014 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC)|Asian World Cup Qualifying Tournament]] and the [[AFC Challenge Cup]].
It also runs the Asian Olympics qualifying tournament.
The AFC also runs three levels of annual international club competitions. The most prestigious (and oldest of the current AFC club competitions) is the [[AFC Champions League]] tournament, based on the [[UEFA Champions League]], formed in 2002/03 with the amalgamation of the ''[[Asian Champions Cup]]'' and the ''[[Asian Cup Winners Cup]]''. (An [[Asian Super Cup]] competition between the winners of these two major tournaments ended with the birth of the AFC Champions League.) The other competitions branched off this in 2004 when the 'Vision Asia' blueprint for development was launched. This led to the top fourteen AFC nations, the 'mature nations', sending their best teams to the AFC Champions League. The next 14 nations, the 'developing nations' qualify to send their teams to the [[AFC Cup]].


===International===
The rest of the AFC-affiliated countries, the 'emerging nations' send their teams to the [[AFC President's Cup]]. The teams which qualify from each country are usually the champions and the cup winners.<ref>{{cite web |last=Griffiths | first=Ian | url=http://www.footballasia.com/en/news/index.asp?id=40247&sec=90&ssec=260&mth=7&yr=2005 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20051119163847/http://www.footballasia.com/en/news/index.asp?id=40247&sec=90&ssec=260&mth=7&yr=2005 |archivedate=2005-11-19 |title=Clubs sandwiched |work=FootballAsia.com | accessdate=2005-07-19 }}</ref> Currently there is no promotion and relegation between the different levels of nations.

The assessments was conducted by AFC Pro-League committee during 2006–2008, and is based on the ''football competitiveness, professionalism, marketability'', and ''financial status of the league and its clubs''. The assessment ranking will be updated every two years, as the next one will be published in November 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/en/news-centre/inside-afc/676-afc-news/26192-12-mas-keen-to-join-acl |title=12 Member Associations keen to join ACL |work=The-AFC.com |publisher=Asian Football Confederation |date=2009-11-30 |accessdate=2010-06-23}}</ref>

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is the governing body of association football in Asia. It has 47 member countries, mostly located on the Asian continent. All the transcontinental countries with territory in both Europe and Asia are members of UEFA (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkey). Israel is also a UEFA member even though it lies entirely in Asia, as is arguably also the case for Cyprus. On the other hand, Australia, formerly in the OFC, has been in the AFC since 2006, and the Oceanian island of Guam, a territory of the United States, is also a member of AFC.

One of FIFA's six continental confederations, the AFC was formed officially on 8 May 1954 in Manila, Philippines, on the sidelines of the second Asian Games. The 12 founder members were Afghanistan, Burma (Myanmar), Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam.[3] The main headquarters is located in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The current president is Salman Bin Ibrahim Al-Khalifa of Bahrain.

History

The Asian Football Confederation was founded on 8 May 1954.

The Asian Ladies Football Confederation (ALFC) is the section of the AFC who manage women's football in Asia. The group was independently founded in April 1968 in a meeting involving Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. In 1986 the ALFC merged with the AFC.[4] The Asian Ladies Football Confederation helped organise the AFC Women's Asian Cup, first held in 1975, as well as the AFC's AFC U-19 Women's Championship and the AFC U-17 Women's Championship.

Members

The AFC has 47 member associations split into five regions. Below shows the member national associations of the regional federations.

1: Quasi-member & associate AFC member
2: Palau presented a candidacy in 2008,[6] and was under consideration in 2009,[7] but as of 2013 got no definite reply and is not a member[8]

Competitions

International

AFC regional federations

The AFC runs the Asian Cup, a competition for the national football teams of Asia held every four years, as well as the Asian World Cup Qualifying Tournament and the AFC Challenge Cup. It also runs the Asian Olympics qualifying tournament. In addition, there are 12 AFC Nations that play in the UAFA organised Arab Nations Cup, namely: Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Oman, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.

  • Central Asia: Created 10 June 2014, no official tournament held between countries in this region yet.
  • East Asia: EAFF East Asian Cup.
  • South Asia: SAFF Championship.
  • Southeast Asia: AFF Championship (formerly known as the Tiger Cup prior to 2007 and AFF Suzuki Cup since 2008).
  • West Asia: WAFF Championship (Although not all West Asian countries enter).

Club

The AFC runs three levels of annual international club competitions. The most prestigious (and oldest of the current AFC club competitions) is the AFC Champions League tournament, based on the UEFA Champions League, formed in 2002/03 with the amalgamation of the Asian Champions Cup and the Asian Cup Winners Cup. (An Asian Super Cup competition between the winners of these two major tournaments ended with the birth of the AFC Champions League.) The other competitions branched off this in 2004 when the 'Vision Asia' blueprint for development was launched. This led to the top fourteen AFC nations, the 'mature nations', sending their best teams to the AFC Champions League. The next 14 nations, the 'developing nations' qualify to send their teams to the AFC Cup. The rest of the AFC-affiliated countries, the 'emerging nations' send their teams to the AFC President's Cup. The teams which qualify from each country are usually the champions and the cup winners.[10] Currently there is no promotion and relegation between the different levels of nations.
