It is the second oldest continental football championship in the world after\nCopa América\n. The winning team becomes the champion of Asia and automatically qualifies for the\nFIFA Confederations Cup\n.\nThe Asian Cup was held once every four years from the\n1956 edition\nin Hong Kong until the\n2004 tournament\nin Mainland China. However, since the Summer Olympic Games and the\nEuropean Football Championship\nwere also scheduled in the same year as the Asian Cup, the AFC decided to move their championship to a less crowded cycle. After 2004, the tournament was next held in\n2007\nwhen it was co-hosted by four nations: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Thereafter, it has been held every four years.\nThe Asian Cup has generally been dominated by a small number of top teams. Initially successful teams included\nSouth Korea\nand\nIran\n. Since 1984,\nJapan\nand\nSaudi Arabia\nhave been the most successful teams, winning 7 of the previous 8 finals. Other teams which have achieved success at times include\nIraq\n,\nIsrael\nand\nKuwait\n.\nAustralia\njoined the Asian confederation in 2007 and hosted the Asian Cup finals in 2015. The\n2019 tournament\nwas expanded from 16 teams to 24 teams, with the qualifying process doubling as part of the qualification for the\n2018 FIFA World Cup\n.\nUnlike other confederation tournaments, the Asian Cup has often been rescheduled to another time of year to better suit the climate of the host nation.\n1\nHistory\n2\nTrophy\n3\nFormat\n3.1\nFinal tournament\n4\nResults\n4.1\nTeams reaching the top four\n5\nRecords and Statistics\n6\nSee also\nHistory\n[\n]\nTwo years after\nAsian Football Confederation\n(AFC) came into being in 1954, the first ever AFC Asian Cup was staged in\nHong Kong\nwith seven of the 12 founding members vying for the title to become Asia's best football team. The qualifying process involved the hosts plus the winners of the various zones (\ncentral\n,\neastern\nand\nwestern\n). It was only a four-team tournament, a format that also existed for 1960 and 1964. Each sub-confederation already hosts their own biennial championship, each with varying degrees of interest. The dominance factor has swung between the\nEast\nand\nWest\nso far. From the superiority of\nSouth Korea\nin the early years of the competition, the tournament became the preserve of\nIran\nwho won three consecutive tournaments in\n1968\n,\n1972\nand\n1976\nwhich also hosted the first and last editions.\nWest Asian countries ruled in the eighties with\nKuwait\nbecoming the first country from the\nArab region\nto win the championship in\n1980\n, followed by\nSaudi Arabia\n's impressive and consecutive wins in\n1984\nand\n1988\n.\nJapan\nhold the record for the most victories in the tournament's history with title triumphs in\n1992\n,\n2000\n,\n2004\nand\n2011\n.\nIraq\ndefeated Saudi Arabia\n1–0\nin the summit clash in\n2007\nin Indonesia. The win left the then war-torn nation elated.\nThe\n2007 edition\nof the AFC Asian Cup also saw\nAustralia\ncome face-to-face for the first time with the footballing powers of Asia before the Socceroos signed off with a creditable\nquarter-final\nfinish. Having come to grips with Asian football, the Australians went all the way to the\nfinal\nin their\nnext outing four years\nlater only to suffer heartbreak in the pulsating Doha final when they lost to Japan 1–0 in extra-time.\nThe\n2015 AFC Asian Cup\ntournament was hosted by Australia. The host country and\nSouth Korea\nreached the\nfinal\nand Australia won the title after defeating South Korea 2–1 in extra time.\nUnited Arab Emirates\nalso finished in third place after defeating\nIraq\nin the third\/fourth place play-off.\nTrophy\n[\n]\nThe\nAFC Asian Cup trophy\nwhich is awarded to the winner of the tournament.

In the group stage each team plays three games in a group of four, with the winners and runners-up from each group advancing to the knockout stage. In the knockout stage the eight teams advance to compete in a single-elimination tournament, beginning with the quarter-finals and ending with the final match of the tournament.

It is the second oldest continental football championship in the world after [Copa América](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Copa_Am%C3%A9rica \"Copa América\"). The winning team becomes the champion of Asia and automatically qualifies for the [FIFA Confederations Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/FIFA_Confederations_Cup \"FIFA Confederations Cup\").\n\nThe Asian Cup was held once every four years from the 1956 edition in Hong Kong until the 2004 tournament in Mainland China. However, since the Summer Olympic Games and the [European Football Championship](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_European_Football_Championship \"UEFA European Football Championship\") were also scheduled in the same year as the Asian Cup, the AFC decided to move their championship to a less crowded cycle. After 2004, the tournament was next held in 2007 when it was co-hosted by four nations: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Thereafter, it has been held every four years.\n\nThe Asian Cup has generally been dominated by a small number of top teams. Initially successful teams included [South Korea](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/South_Korea_national_football_team \"South Korea national football team\") and [Iran](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Iran_national_football_team \"Iran national football team\"). Since 1984, [Japan](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Japan_national_football_team \"Japan national football team\") and [Saudi Arabia](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Saudi_Arabia_national_football_team \"Saudi Arabia national football team\") have been the most successful teams, winning 7 of the previous 8 finals. Other teams which have achieved success at times include [Iraq](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Iraq_national_football_team \"Iraq national football team\"), [Israel](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Israel_national_football_team \"Israel national football team\") and [Kuwait](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Kuwait_national_football_team \"Kuwait national football team\").\n\n[Australia](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Australia_national_association_football_team \"Australia national association football team\") joined the Asian confederation in 2007 and hosted the Asian Cup finals in 2015. The [2019 tournament](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/2019_AFC_Asian_Cup \"2019 AFC Asian Cup\") was expanded from 16 teams to 24 teams, with the qualifying process doubling as part of the qualification for the [2018 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification#AFC \"2018 FIFA World Cup qualification\").\n\nUnlike other confederation tournaments, the Asian Cup has often been rescheduled to another time of year to better suit the climate of the host nation.\n\n## Contents\n- [1 History](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#History)\n- [2 Trophy](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#Trophy)\n- [3 Format](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#Format)\n  - [3\\.1 Final tournament](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#Final_tournament)\n- [4 Results](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#Results)\n  - [4\\.1 Teams reaching the top four](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#Teams_reaching_the_top_four)\n- [5 Records and Statistics](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#Records_and_Statistics)\n- [6 See also](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#See_also)\n## History\\[ \\]\nTwo years after [Asian Football Confederation](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Football_Confederation \"Asian Football Confederation\") (AFC) came into being in 1954, the first ever AFC Asian Cup was staged in [Hong Kong](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Hong_Kong \"Hong Kong\") with seven of the 12 founding members vying for the title to become Asia's best football team. The qualifying process involved the hosts plus the winners of the various zones (central, eastern and western). It was only a four-team tournament, a format that also existed for 1960 and 1964. Each sub-confederation already hosts their own biennial championship, each with varying degrees of interest. The dominance factor has swung between the East and West so far. From the superiority of [South Korea](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/South_Korea_national_football_team \"South Korea national football team\") in the early years of the competition, the tournament became the preserve of [Iran](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Iran_national_football_team \"Iran national football team\") who won three consecutive tournaments in 1968, 1972 and 1976 which also hosted the first and last editions.\n\nWest Asian countries ruled in the eighties with [Kuwait](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Kuwait_national_football_team \"Kuwait national football team\") becoming the first country from the Arab region to win the championship in 1980, followed by [Saudi Arabia](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Saudi_Arabia_national_football_team \"Saudi Arabia national football team\")'s impressive and consecutive wins in 1984 and 1988.\n\n[Japan](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Japan_national_football_team \"Japan national football team\") hold the record for the most victories in the tournament's history with title triumphs in 1992, 2000, 2004 and 2011.\n\n[Iraq](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Iraq_national_football_team \"Iraq national football team\") defeated Saudi Arabia 1–0 in the summit clash in 2007 in Indonesia. The win left the then war-torn nation elated.\n\nThe 2007 edition of the AFC Asian Cup also saw [Australia](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Australia_national_football_team \"Australia national football team\") come face-to-face for the first time with the footballing powers of Asia before the Socceroos signed off with a creditable quarter-final finish. Having come to grips with Asian football, the Australians went all the way to the final in their next outing four years later only to suffer heartbreak in the pulsating Doha final when they lost to Japan 1–0 in extra-time.\n\nThe [2015 AFC Asian Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/2015_AFC_Asian_Cup \"2015 AFC Asian Cup\") tournament was hosted by Australia. The host country and [South Korea](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/South_Korea_national_football_team \"South Korea national football team\") reached the [final](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/2015_AFC_Asian_Cup_Final \"2015 AFC Asian Cup Final\") and Australia won the title after defeating South Korea 2–1 in extra time. [United Arab Emirates](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/United_Arab_Emirates_national_football_team \"United Arab Emirates national football team\") also finished in third place after defeating [Iraq](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Iraq_national_football_team \"Iraq national football team\") in the third\/fourth place play-off.\n\n## Trophy\\[ \\]\nThe *AFC Asian Cup trophy* which is awarded to the winner of the tournament. Since the first tournament it has been awarded to the winning team for them to keep for four years, until the next tournament.\n\n## Format\\[ \\]\n### Final tournament\\[ \\]\nThe final tournament is being played in two stages: the group stage and the knockout stage. In the group stage each team plays three games in a group of four, with the winners and runners-up from each group advancing to the knockout stage. In the knockout stage the eight teams advance to compete in a single-elimination tournament, beginning with the quarter-finals and ending with the final match of the tournament. A third-place match is also played between the two losing teams of the semi-finals.\n\n## Results\\[ \\]\n| Year | Host |   | Final |   | Third Place Match |   | Number of teams |

It is the second oldest continental football championship in the world after [Copa América](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Copa_Am%C3%A9rica \"Copa América\"). The winning team becomes the champion of Asia and automatically qualifies for the [FIFA Confederations Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/FIFA_Confederations_Cup \"FIFA Confederations Cup\").\n\nThe Asian Cup was held once every four years from the 1956 edition in Hong Kong until the 2004 tournament in Mainland China. However, since the Summer Olympic Games and the [European Football Championship](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_European_Football_Championship \"UEFA European Football Championship\") were also scheduled in the same year as the Asian Cup, the AFC decided to move their championship to a less crowded cycle. After 2004, the tournament was next held in 2007 when it was co-hosted by four nations: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Thereafter, it has been held every four years.\n\nThe Asian Cup has generally been dominated by a small number of top teams. Initially successful teams included [South Korea](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/South_Korea_national_football_team \"South Korea national football team\") and [Iran](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Iran_national_football_team \"Iran national football team\"). Since 1984, [Japan](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Japan_national_football_team \"Japan national football team\") and [Saudi Arabia](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Saudi_Arabia_national_football_team \"Saudi Arabia national football team\") have been the most successful teams, winning 7 of the previous 8 finals. Other teams which have achieved success at times include [Iraq](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Iraq_national_football_team \"Iraq national football team\"), [Israel](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Israel_national_football_team \"Israel national football team\") and [Kuwait](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Kuwait_national_football_team \"Kuwait national football team\").\n\n[Australia](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Australia_national_association_football_team \"Australia national association football team\") joined the Asian confederation in 2007 and hosted the Asian Cup finals in 2015. The [2019 tournament](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/2019_AFC_Asian_Cup \"2019 AFC Asian Cup\") was expanded from 16 teams to 24 teams, with the qualifying process doubling as part of the qualification for the [2018 FIFA World Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification#AFC \"2018 FIFA World Cup qualification\").\n\nUnlike other confederation tournaments, the Asian Cup has often been rescheduled to another time of year to better suit the climate of the host nation.\n\n- [1 History](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#History)\n- [2 Trophy](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#Trophy)\n- [3 Format](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#Format)\n  - [3\\.1 Final tournament](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#Final_tournament)\n- [4 Results](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#Results)\n  - [4\\.1 Teams reaching the top four](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#Teams_reaching_the_top_four)\n- [5 Records and Statistics](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#Records_and_Statistics)\n- [6 See also](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Cup#See_also)\n## History\\[ \\]\nTwo years after [Asian Football Confederation](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Asian_Football_Confederation \"Asian Football Confederation\") (AFC) came into being in 1954, the first ever AFC Asian Cup was staged in [Hong Kong](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Hong_Kong \"Hong Kong\") with seven of the 12 founding members vying for the title to become Asia's best football team. The qualifying process involved the hosts plus the winners of the various zones (central, eastern and western). It was only a four-team tournament, a format that also existed for 1960 and 1964. Each sub-confederation already hosts their own biennial championship, each with varying degrees of interest. The dominance factor has swung between the East and West so far. From the superiority of [South Korea](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/South_Korea_national_football_team \"South Korea national football team\") in the early years of the competition, the tournament became the preserve of [Iran](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Iran_national_football_team \"Iran national football team\") who won three consecutive tournaments in 1968, 1972 and 1976 which also hosted the first and last editions.\n\nWest Asian countries ruled in the eighties with [Kuwait](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Kuwait_national_football_team \"Kuwait national football team\") becoming the first country from the Arab region to win the championship in 1980, followed by [Saudi Arabia](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Saudi_Arabia_national_football_team \"Saudi Arabia national football team\")'s impressive and consecutive wins in 1984 and 1988.\n\n[Japan](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Japan_national_football_team \"Japan national football team\") hold the record for the most victories in the tournament's history with title triumphs in 1992, 2000, 2004 and 2011.\n\n[Iraq](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Iraq_national_football_team \"Iraq national football team\") defeated Saudi Arabia 1–0 in the summit clash in 2007 in Indonesia. The win left the then war-torn nation elated.\n\nThe 2007 edition of the AFC Asian Cup also saw [Australia](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Australia_national_football_team \"Australia national football team\") come face-to-face for the first time with the footballing powers of Asia before the Socceroos signed off with a creditable quarter-final finish. Having come to grips with Asian football, the Australians went all the way to the final in their next outing four years later only to suffer heartbreak in the pulsating Doha final when they lost to Japan 1–0 in extra-time.\n\nThe [2015 AFC Asian Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/2015_AFC_Asian_Cup \"2015 AFC Asian Cup\") tournament was hosted by Australia. The host country and [South Korea](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/South_Korea_national_football_team \"South Korea national football team\") reached the [final](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/2015_AFC_Asian_Cup_Final \"2015 AFC Asian Cup Final\") and Australia won the title after defeating South Korea 2–1 in extra time. [United Arab Emirates](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/United_Arab_Emirates_national_football_team \"United Arab Emirates national football team\") also finished in third place after defeating [Iraq](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Iraq_national_football_team \"Iraq national football team\") in the third\/fourth place play-off.\n\n## Trophy\\[ \\]\nThe *AFC Asian Cup trophy* which is awarded to the winner of the tournament.

In the group stage each team plays three games in a group of four, with the winners and runners-up from each group advancing to the knockout stage. In the knockout stage the eight teams advance to compete in a single-elimination tournament, beginning with the quarter-finals and ending with the final match of the tournament.

It is the second oldest continental football championship in the world after Copa América . The winning team becomes the champion of Asia and automatically qualifies for the FIFA Confederations Cup . The Asian Cup was held once every four years from the 1956 edition in Hong Kong until the 2004 tournament in Mainland China. However, since the Summer Olympic Games and the European Football Championship were also scheduled in the same year as the Asian Cup, the AFC decided to move their championship to a less crowded cycle. After 2004, the tournament was next held in 2007 when it was co-hosted by four nations: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Thereafter, it has been held every four years. The Asian Cup has generally been dominated by a small number of top teams. Initially successful teams included South Korea and Iran . Since 1984, Japan and Saudi Arabia have been the most successful teams, winning 7 of the previous 8 finals. Other teams which have achieved success at times include Iraq , Israel and Kuwait . Australia joined the Asian confederation in 2007 and hosted the Asian Cup finals in 2015. The 2019 tournament was expanded from 16 teams to 24 teams, with the qualifying process doubling as part of the qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup . Unlike other confederation tournaments, the Asian Cup has often been rescheduled to another time of year to better suit the climate of the host nation. 1 History 2 Trophy 3 Format 3.1 Final tournament 4 Results 4.1 Teams reaching the top four 5 Records and Statistics 6 See also History [ ] Two years after Asian Football Confederation (AFC) came into being in 1954, the first ever AFC Asian Cup was staged in Hong Kong with seven of the 12 founding members vying for the title to become Asia's best football team. The qualifying process involved the hosts plus the winners of the various zones ( central , eastern and western ). It was only a four-team tournament, a format that also existed for 1960 and 1964. Each sub-confederation already hosts their own biennial championship, each with varying degrees of interest. The dominance factor has swung between the East and West so far. From the superiority of South Korea in the early years of the competition, the tournament became the preserve of Iran who won three consecutive tournaments in 1968 , 1972 and 1976 which also hosted the first and last editions. West Asian countries ruled in the eighties with Kuwait becoming the first country from the Arab region to win the championship in 1980 , followed by Saudi Arabia 's impressive and consecutive wins in 1984 and 1988 . Japan hold the record for the most victories in the tournament's history with title triumphs in 1992 , 2000 , 2004 and 2011 . Iraq defeated Saudi Arabia 1–0 in the summit clash in 2007 in Indonesia. The win left the then war-torn nation elated. The 2007 edition of the AFC Asian Cup also saw Australia come face-to-face for the first time with the footballing powers of Asia before the Socceroos signed off with a creditable quarter-final finish. Having come to grips with Asian football, the Australians went all the way to the final in their next outing four years later only to suffer heartbreak in the pulsating Doha final when they lost to Japan 1–0 in extra-time. The 2015 AFC Asian Cup tournament was hosted by Australia. The host country and South Korea reached the final and Australia won the title after defeating South Korea 2–1 in extra time. United Arab Emirates also finished in third place after defeating Iraq in the third/fourth place play-off. Trophy [ ] The AFC Asian Cup trophy which is awarded to the winner of the tournament. Since the first tournament it has been awarded to the winning team for them to keep for four years, until the next tournament. Format [ ] Final tournament [ ] The final tournament is being played in two stages: the group stage and the knockout stage. In the group stage each team plays three games in a group of four, with the winners and runners-up from each group advancing to the knockout stage. In the knockout stage the eight teams advance to compete in a single-elimination tournament, beginning with the quarter-finals and ending with the final match of the tournament. A third-place match is also played between the two losing teams of the semi-finals.

It is the second oldest continental football championship in the world after [Copa América](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Copa_Am%C3%A9rica "Copa América"). The winning team becomes the champion of Asia and automatically qualifies for the [FIFA Confederations Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/FIFA_Confederations_Cup "FIFA Confederations Cup"). The Asian Cup was held once every four years from the 1956 edition in Hong Kong until the 2004 tournament in Mainland China. However, since the Summer Olympic Games and the [European Football Championship](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_European_Football_Championship "UEFA European Football Championship") were also scheduled in the same year as the Asian Cup, the AFC decided to move their championship to a less crowded cycle. After 2004, the tournament was next held in 2007 when it was co-hosted by four nations: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Thereafter, it has been held every four years. The Asian Cup has generally been dominated by a small number of top teams. Initially successful teams included [South Korea](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/South_Korea_national_football_team "South Korea national football team") and [Iran](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Iran_national_football_team "Iran national football team"). Since 1984, [Japan](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Japan_national_football_team "Japan national football team") and [Saudi Arabia](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Saudi_Arabia_national_football_team "Saudi Arabia national football team") have been the most successful teams, winning 7 of the previous 8 finals. Other teams which have achieved success at times include [Iraq](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Iraq_national_football_team "Iraq national football team"), [Israel](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Israel_national_football_team "Israel national football team") and [Kuwait](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Kuwait_national_football_team "Kuwait national football team"). [Australia](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Australia_national_association_football_team "Australia national association football team") joined the Asian confederation in 2007 and hosted the Asian Cup finals in 2015. The [2019 tournament](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/2019_AFC_Asian_Cup "2019 AFC Asian Cup") was expanded from 16 teams to 24 teams, with the qualifying process doubling as part of the qualification for the [2018 FIFA World Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification#AFC "2018 FIFA World Cup qualification"). Unlike other confederation tournaments, the Asian Cup has often been rescheduled to another time of year to better suit the climate of the host nation. ## Contents - [1 History](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#History) - [2 Trophy](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#Trophy) - [3 Format](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#Format) - [3\.1 Final tournament](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#Final_tournament) - [4 Results](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#Results) - [4\.1 Teams reaching the top four](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#Teams_reaching_the_top_four) - [5 Records and Statistics](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#Records_and_Statistics) - [6 See also](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#See_also) ## History\[ \] Two years after [Asian Football Confederation](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Football_Confederation "Asian Football Confederation") (AFC) came into being in 1954, the first ever AFC Asian Cup was staged in [Hong Kong](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Hong_Kong "Hong Kong") with seven of the 12 founding members vying for the title to become Asia's best football team. The qualifying process involved the hosts plus the winners of the various zones (central, eastern and western). It was only a four-team tournament, a format that also existed for 1960 and 1964. Each sub-confederation already hosts their own biennial championship, each with varying degrees of interest. The dominance factor has swung between the East and West so far. From the superiority of [South Korea](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/South_Korea_national_football_team "South Korea national football team") in the early years of the competition, the tournament became the preserve of [Iran](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Iran_national_football_team "Iran national football team") who won three consecutive tournaments in 1968, 1972 and 1976 which also hosted the first and last editions. West Asian countries ruled in the eighties with [Kuwait](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Kuwait_national_football_team "Kuwait national football team") becoming the first country from the Arab region to win the championship in 1980, followed by [Saudi Arabia](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Saudi_Arabia_national_football_team "Saudi Arabia national football team")'s impressive and consecutive wins in 1984 and 1988. [Japan](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Japan_national_football_team "Japan national football team") hold the record for the most victories in the tournament's history with title triumphs in 1992, 2000, 2004 and 2011. [Iraq](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Iraq_national_football_team "Iraq national football team") defeated Saudi Arabia 1–0 in the summit clash in 2007 in Indonesia. The win left the then war-torn nation elated. The 2007 edition of the AFC Asian Cup also saw [Australia](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Australia_national_football_team "Australia national football team") come face-to-face for the first time with the footballing powers of Asia before the Socceroos signed off with a creditable quarter-final finish. Having come to grips with Asian football, the Australians went all the way to the final in their next outing four years later only to suffer heartbreak in the pulsating Doha final when they lost to Japan 1–0 in extra-time. The [2015 AFC Asian Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/2015_AFC_Asian_Cup "2015 AFC Asian Cup") tournament was hosted by Australia. The host country and [South Korea](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/South_Korea_national_football_team "South Korea national football team") reached the [final](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/2015_AFC_Asian_Cup_Final "2015 AFC Asian Cup Final") and Australia won the title after defeating South Korea 2–1 in extra time. [United Arab Emirates](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates_national_football_team "United Arab Emirates national football team") also finished in third place after defeating [Iraq](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Iraq_national_football_team "Iraq national football team") in the third/fourth place play-off. ## Trophy\[ \] The AFC Asian Cup trophy which is awarded to the winner of the tournament.

It is the second oldest continental football championship in the world after [Copa América](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Copa_Am%C3%A9rica "Copa América"). The winning team becomes the champion of Asia and automatically qualifies for the [FIFA Confederations Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/FIFA_Confederations_Cup "FIFA Confederations Cup"). The Asian Cup was held once every four years from the 1956 edition in Hong Kong until the 2004 tournament in Mainland China. However, since the Summer Olympic Games and the [European Football Championship](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_European_Football_Championship "UEFA European Football Championship") were also scheduled in the same year as the Asian Cup, the AFC decided to move their championship to a less crowded cycle. After 2004, the tournament was next held in 2007 when it was co-hosted by four nations: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Thereafter, it has been held every four years. The Asian Cup has generally been dominated by a small number of top teams. Initially successful teams included [South Korea](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/South_Korea_national_football_team "South Korea national football team") and [Iran](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Iran_national_football_team "Iran national football team"). Since 1984, [Japan](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Japan_national_football_team "Japan national football team") and [Saudi Arabia](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Saudi_Arabia_national_football_team "Saudi Arabia national football team") have been the most successful teams, winning 7 of the previous 8 finals. Other teams which have achieved success at times include [Iraq](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Iraq_national_football_team "Iraq national football team"), [Israel](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Israel_national_football_team "Israel national football team") and [Kuwait](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Kuwait_national_football_team "Kuwait national football team"). [Australia](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Australia_national_association_football_team "Australia national association football team") joined the Asian confederation in 2007 and hosted the Asian Cup finals in 2015. The [2019 tournament](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/2019_AFC_Asian_Cup "2019 AFC Asian Cup") was expanded from 16 teams to 24 teams, with the qualifying process doubling as part of the qualification for the [2018 FIFA World Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification#AFC "2018 FIFA World Cup qualification"). Unlike other confederation tournaments, the Asian Cup has often been rescheduled to another time of year to better suit the climate of the host nation. - [1 History](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#History) - [2 Trophy](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#Trophy) - [3 Format](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#Format) - [3\.1 Final tournament](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#Final_tournament) - [4 Results](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#Results) - [4\.1 Teams reaching the top four](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#Teams_reaching_the_top_four) - [5 Records and Statistics](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#Records_and_Statistics) - [6 See also](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Cup#See_also) ## History\[ \] Two years after [Asian Football Confederation](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Asian_Football_Confederation "Asian Football Confederation") (AFC) came into being in 1954, the first ever AFC Asian Cup was staged in [Hong Kong](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Hong_Kong "Hong Kong") with seven of the 12 founding members vying for the title to become Asia's best football team. The qualifying process involved the hosts plus the winners of the various zones (central, eastern and western). It was only a four-team tournament, a format that also existed for 1960 and 1964. Each sub-confederation already hosts their own biennial championship, each with varying degrees of interest. The dominance factor has swung between the East and West so far. From the superiority of [South Korea](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/South_Korea_national_football_team "South Korea national football team") in the early years of the competition, the tournament became the preserve of [Iran](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Iran_national_football_team "Iran national football team") who won three consecutive tournaments in 1968, 1972 and 1976 which also hosted the first and last editions. West Asian countries ruled in the eighties with [Kuwait](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Kuwait_national_football_team "Kuwait national football team") becoming the first country from the Arab region to win the championship in 1980, followed by [Saudi Arabia](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Saudi_Arabia_national_football_team "Saudi Arabia national football team")'s impressive and consecutive wins in 1984 and 1988. [Japan](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Japan_national_football_team "Japan national football team") hold the record for the most victories in the tournament's history with title triumphs in 1992, 2000, 2004 and 2011. [Iraq](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Iraq_national_football_team "Iraq national football team") defeated Saudi Arabia 1–0 in the summit clash in 2007 in Indonesia. The win left the then war-torn nation elated. The 2007 edition of the AFC Asian Cup also saw [Australia](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Australia_national_football_team "Australia national football team") come face-to-face for the first time with the footballing powers of Asia before the Socceroos signed off with a creditable quarter-final finish. Having come to grips with Asian football, the Australians went all the way to the final in their next outing four years later only to suffer heartbreak in the pulsating Doha final when they lost to Japan 1–0 in extra-time. The [2015 AFC Asian Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/2015_AFC_Asian_Cup "2015 AFC Asian Cup") tournament was hosted by Australia. The host country and [South Korea](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/South_Korea_national_football_team "South Korea national football team") reached the [final](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/2015_AFC_Asian_Cup_Final "2015 AFC Asian Cup Final") and Australia won the title after defeating South Korea 2–1 in extra time. [United Arab Emirates](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates_national_football_team "United Arab Emirates national football team") also finished in third place after defeating [Iraq](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Iraq_national_football_team "Iraq national football team") in the third/fourth place play-off. ## Trophy\[ \] The AFC Asian Cup trophy which is awarded to the winner of the tournament. Since the first tournament it has been awarded to the winning team for them to keep for four years, until the next tournament. ## Format\[ \] ### Final tournament\[ \] The final tournament is being played in two stages: the group stage and the knockout stage. In the group stage each team plays three games in a group of four, with the winners and runners-up from each group advancing to the knockout stage. In the knockout stage the eight teams advance to compete in a single-elimination tournament, beginning with the quarter-finals and ending with the final match of the tournament. A third-place match is also played between the two losing teams of the semi-finals. ## Results\[ \] \| Year \| Host \| \| Final \| \| Third Place Match \| \| Number of teams \| \|
