The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is the governing body of football in Asia. It 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.

It also operates the Asian Champions League tournament, an annual club competition involving Champions and cup winners from the fourteen strongest Asian football federations.

The Asian Champions League was 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 Champions League.

From 1 January 2006 Australia will become the 46th member of the AFC.

The Asian Ladies Football Confederation is a sub-group of the AFC who manage women's football in Asia. The group was founded in April 1968 in a meeting involving Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. In 1986 the ALFC was merged into the AFC . The Asian Ladies Football Confederation helped organise the AFC Women's Championship, first held in 1975, as well as the AFC's women's under-19 and the women's under-17 championships.
