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.[a] 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.[1]

## 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualification Playoffs

[edit]

In June 2025, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) confirmed that Qatar and Saudi Arabia will host the Asian qualifying playoffs for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The playoffs will feature six teams, comprising the third- and fourth-placed teams from the recent third round of Asian qualifiers. These teams will be divided into two groups of three, with the winners of each group advancing to the intercontinental playoff round. The decision reflects the AFC’s strategy of leveraging regional hosts to manage logistical efficiency and competitive neutrality in crucial qualifying stages.[7]

## Member associations

[edit]

AFC regional federations

The AFC has 47 member associations split into five subregions: Central (four former Soviet Central Asian countries plus Afghanistan and Iran), East (eight East Asian nations and two Micronesian territories: Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands), South (five countries on the Indian Subcontinent plus Maldives and Sri Lanka), South East (ten ASEAN countries plus Australia and East Timor), and West (twelve Arab countries). Afghanistan, Burma (Myanmar), the Republic of China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam were the founding members.[8][9]
