AFC Cup About

AFC Cup, now known as the AFC Champions League Two, is Asia’s men’s second-tier continental club football cup, organised by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). It provides a route into international competition for clubs from across Asia, including teams from associations whose representatives have narrowly missed out on the AFC Champions League Elite.

From AFC Cup to AFC Champions League Two

Established in 2004, the competition developed as a continental platform for leading clubs outside the highest level of Asian club football. The AFC Cup name was used for two decades before the competition was rebranded as the AFC Champions League Two in 2024, as part of a wider restructuring of the AFC’s men’s club competitions. The modern competition retains the AFC Cup’s history and records while placing it within a clearer continental hierarchy.

The tournament is a men’s cup competition rather than a domestic league. It brings together clubs from different national associations, with qualification generally earned through domestic league and cup performance. Its role is particularly important for emerging football markets and for strong clubs from higher-ranked associations that do not qualify for the Elite tier. The recorded competition coverage on this page runs from the 2017 season through 2025, spanning nine seasons of results and statistics.

Governance and qualification

The AFC sets the competition regulations, entry requirements, club licensing standards and match procedures. Places are allocated across the AFC’s East and West regions according to the AFC Club Competitions Ranking. Under the current access model, clubs from the leading associations typically enter through different routes from those representing associations ranked lower in the relevant regional table.

For associations ranked first to sixth, the highest-placed domestic club that has not qualified for the AFC Champions League Elite generally enters the AFC Champions League Two. Associations ranked seventh to 12th can receive places for their leading domestic clubs. Qualification can also involve preliminary play-offs, which provide additional clubs with a route to the group stage. Domestic league and cup results therefore remain the principal gateway to the competition, although the precise number of places depends on the AFC’s allocation for each edition.

Competition format

The current structure combines regional group football with a continental knockout finish. Thirty-two teams enter the group stage, divided into eight groups of four: four groups in the West region and four in the East. Each club plays every other team in its group twice, once at home and once away. Clubs from the same member association are protected from meeting in the group-stage draw.

Teams receive three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a defeat. The two highest-placed clubs in each group progress to the 16-team knockout stage. From the Round of 16 through the semi-finals, ties are played over two legs, creating a combined-score contest across both matches. The regional structure remains in place through the semi-finals, after which the West and East champions meet in a single-match final.

The final is therefore the competition’s only one-off fixture after the two-legged knockout rounds. It determines the continental champion and brings together the strongest surviving club from each half of the draw.

Tiebreakers and match resolution

If clubs finish level on points in the group stage, the first comparison is normally made through their results against one another. The relevant head-to-head criteria include points gained, goal difference and goals scored in those matches. If necessary, the competition then moves to overall group-record measures such as goal difference and goals scored across all matches, followed by further regulatory criteria where required.

The away-goals rule is not used in knockout ties. If the aggregate score is level after the second leg, the teams play two 15-minute periods of extra time. A penalty shoot-out decides the tie if the scores remain level after extra time. These rules place the emphasis on the total score across the two legs rather than on goals scored away from home.

Season calendar and sporting stakes

The AFC Champions League Two normally follows a cross-year calendar. Qualifying play-offs are held during the summer, followed by the group stage from roughly September to December. The knockout rounds usually begin in February, with the final scheduled towards the end of the season, commonly in May. Dates and venues can vary between editions, particularly across the competition’s wide geographical area.

Winning the competition brings continental prestige, a major title for the club and an opportunity to advance to the next level of Asian football. The champion earns an indirect preliminary-stage place in the following season’s AFC Champions League Elite, provided it has not already qualified through domestic competition. Prize money and other financial rewards also add to the incentive, although the value and distribution depend on the relevant edition’s regulations.

The AFC Cup name remains central to the competition’s identity because the Champions League Two inherits its legacy, records and place in Asian club football. Clubs such as Kuwait SC and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya are among the historic names associated with its past, while the rebranded format continues to connect established football centres with ambitious clubs from across the continent.
