Шаблон:Infobox football tournament
The AFC President's Cup was an annual international association football competition between domestic clubs sides run by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) held between 2005 and 2014.
The competition targeted emerging football nations, and was set below the AFC Champions League and AFC Cup competitions.
Competition format
Between 8 and 12 teams participated in each edition of the competition. From 2005 to 2007, 8 clubs were placed into two groups of 4 teams. The winners and runners up would advance to the semi-final stage. All the matches were held in a single host country.
From 2008 to 2010, the tournament was increased to 11 clubs. A qualification round was created and the 11 clubs were split into three groups of 3 or 4 clubs. Each group was played in a different country. The three group winners and the best ranked runner up qualified for the finals stage, hosted in another country.
From 2011 to 2014, the tournament was increased to 12 clubs. In the qualification round, there were three groups of 4 clubs. The group winners and runners up qualify for the final stage. These 6 clubs are broken into two groups of 3. The top teams of each group qualified directly for the final.[1]
In November 2013 the AFC announced that the 2014 AFC President's Cup would be the last edition of the tournament.[2] Starting from 2015, league champions of "emerging countries" are eligible to participate in the AFC Cup qualifying play-off.[3] The qualifying round for the 2016 AFC Cup, with a similar format to the AFC President's Cup (but without a final stage), was held in August 2015, which qualified two teams to the AFC Cup play-offs.[4]
On 23 December 2022, it was announced that a third-tier club competition for Asian football would be reintroduced from the 2024–25 season, which would be named the AFC Challenge League.[5]
Qualification and participating nations
Qualification to the competition was to clubs from AFC-affiliated countries which fall into the AFC's 'emerging nations' category as laid out in their 'Vision Asia' document. Countries which were 'mature' and 'developing' nations were entered into the AFC Champions League and the AFC Cup, respectively. For an 'emerging nation' to have a team representing it in the competition, however, the country must have an acceptable football league. The team that represents a country in one season of the competition is the defending champion of the top-level leagues of participating countries.
Clubs from Шаблон:Flagicon Nepal, Шаблон:Flagicon Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), Шаблон:Flagicon Bhutan, Шаблон:Flagicon Sri Lanka, Шаблон:Flagicon Pakistan and Шаблон:Flagicon Cambodia were invited every year.
Clubs from Шаблон:Flagicon Bangladesh, Шаблон:Flagicon Turkmenistan, Шаблон:Flagicon Mongolia, Шаблон:Flagicon Philippines and Шаблон:Flagicon North Korea were also invited in some of the years of the competition.
Some participating countries – Шаблон:Flagicon Palestine, Шаблон:Flagicon Myanmar, Шаблон:Flagicon Tajikistan and Шаблон:Flagicon Kyrgyzstan – applied for an upgrade to the AFC Cup, so their club teams subsequently played in that competition.
Other nations that could enter a team, but never did so are: Шаблон:Flagicon Brunei, Шаблон:Flagicon Timor-Leste, Шаблон:Flagicon Guam, Шаблон:Flagicon Laos, Шаблон:Flagicon Macau and Шаблон:Flagicon Afghanistan.
In March 2012 the AFC announced that the Шаблон:Flagicon Northern Mariana Islands were approved to participate in the AFC Challenge Cup and AFC President's Cup if they fulfilled the criteria.[6] However, they never entered a team.
