Asian Football Confederation

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is the governing body of association football, beach soccer, and futsal in most countries and territories in Asia. The AFC was formed in 1954. It has 47 members. The Asian Ladies Football Confederation (ALFC) was the section of AFC that managed women's association football in Asia. The group was independently founded in April 1968 in a meeting involving Taiwan, British Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. In 1986, ALFC merged with AFC.

The top-ranked AFC tournament for women's association football clubs is the AFC Women's Champions League which was launched in the 2024–25 season.

The second-tier men's tournament is the AFC Champions League Two, while the third-tier tournament is the AFC Challenge League, which were both revamped and rebranded in 2024.
