President’s Message

Dear Friends

On behalf of the AFC, I am delighted to present to you this AFC Asian Cup History Book which captures so many stories of the glory of the AFC Asian Cup, our flagship competition for national teams.

In every chapter the drama, glory, disappointment and outstanding achievement are detailed – bringing to life the stark statistics of every match played in this historic competition.

The book also illustrates the outstanding development of the AFC Asian Cup over the decades culminating in the 17th edition in the United Arab Emirates.

It was, without doubt, the most exciting and best-ever tournament that the AFC has staged, and our thanks go to not only the 24 competing teams but also to the 57 top Asian match officials who took charge of the matches along with three colleagues from CONCACAF.

The match officials were supported for the first time by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system from the quarter-final stages onwards, as the AFC continues to embrace technological development by working with the world’s leading suppliers in this field.

With a record prize fund of almost US$15m at AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019, US$5m was awarded to Qatar who lifted the new glittering trophy on February 1.

We thank everyone, from the UAE Government, Local Organising Committee to the wonderful volunteers, who so successfully provided the perfect stage for the best players in Asia.

This book details the drama of the new innovative and inclusive qualifying competition which led to our 24 top teams reaching the 2019 final tournament,

including first time finalists – the Philippines and Kyrgyz Republic and the new Yemen who last appeared as South Yemen.

None of this would have been possible without the support and unity of our Member Associations, who embraced the new qualifying competition and supported the AFC Vision and Mission objective of staging top-level competitions.

To all the readers of this history book, I hope it fills many hours of reading and evokes reflections on a tournament that is now sitting proudly among the best in the world.

Introduction to the AFC Asian CupFrom its humble beginnings in 1956, the AFC Asian CupTM has developed into the continent’s premier football tournament, bringing together the top national teams from the length and breadth of Asia to compete for one of international football’s most sought-after prizes every four years.

The tournament had its roots in the formation of the Asian Football Confederation in Manila in 1954. The 12 founding members of the AFC sought to shape the development of the game in Asia and one of the keys to achieving that aim was the organisation of a regional competition for the continent’s national sides.

Some two years later, the first-ever AFC Asian CupTM was staged in Hong Kong with eight Member Associations vying for the right to be declared champions of Asia.

Over half a century later, the AFC Asian CupTM has grown to encompass teams from throughout the continent and has become the barometer by which the continually changing balance of power in Asian football is measured.

From the dominance of Korea Republic in the early years of the competition, the

AFC Asian CupTM became the preserve of the Islamic Republic of Iran who won three consecutive tournaments from 1968 to 1976.

During the 1980s, the Gulf states asserted themselves with Kuwait – in 1980 – becoming the first Arab side to win the competition, before Saudi Arabia claimed three of the next four titles, reaching the final five times in a row.

Japan’s AFC Asian CupTM victories in 1992, 2000 and 2004 then signalled a shift in power back to East Asia at the turn of the millennium.

2007 saw the competition being co-hosted for the first time, with Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam providing the backdrop for the 14th edition of the AFC Asian CupTM. Iraq sensationally defeated Saudi Arabia to clinch the title in Southeast Asia, with the fairy-tale win a clear sign of football’s unerring ability to bring people together.

Four years on Japan claimed a record fourth AFC Asian CupTM success, before defeated finalists Australia regrouped to claim the trophy on home soil in 2015 and Qatar emerged as 2019 winners in the United Arab Emirates.

Vietnam reached the quarter-finals after beating Jordan on penalties

Qatar celebrate their historic victory against Japan in the final at Zayed Sports City Stadium

2019: United Arab Emirates

The AFC Asian Cup’s evolution continued apace at UAE 2019, as a record number

of 24 teams competed for Continental glory across eight venues during a month of pulsating action.

Qatar’s title success, sealed courtesy of a 3-1 win over four-time champions Japan in the final, would prove to be a fitting finale to a tournament which had scaled new heights both on and off the pitch.

From Vietnam’s captivating campaign to Qatar forward Almoez Ali’s goalscoring exploits, the introduction of a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) and in excess of 890 million interactions on the AFC’s official digital channels, the competition’s 17th edition helped raise the Asian Cup bar yet again whilst captivating football audiences around the globe.

With the world watching on, host nation the United Arab Emirates were held to

a 1-1 draw by regional rivals Bahrain in the opening group stage match, before going on to seal their place in the newly introduced Round of 16 as Group A winners alongside second-placed Thailand and the Bahrainis.

Elsewhere, Jordan and Australia progressed from Group B, and Korea Republic registered three successive victories to top Group C and go through to the knockout phase despite the delayed arrival of talisman Son Heung-min. Under the wily guidance of head coach Carlos Queiroz, the Islamic Republic of Iran impressed en route to a first-place finish in Group D, as indeed did Qatar who, thanks in part to the four goals Almoez Ali bagged against DPR Korea, scored 10 times to claim pole position in Group E.

Japan, on the back of three wins from three, comprehensively won Group F

ahead of Uzbekistan and Oman to advance with relative ease and keep alive their hopes of lifting an unprecedented fifth AFC Asian Cup crown.

With a place in the last eight on offer, Vietnam – having qualified for the Round of 16 on the fair play rule ahead of Syria – then continued their sensational run by edging Jordan 4-2 on penalties to be the first team to book their place in the quarter-finals.

They were to be joined by China PR when second-half strikes from Xiao Zhi and Gao Lin secured a narrow 2-1 win over Thailand, while Iran maintained their unbeaten record after downing Oman 2-0 in a gripping encounter that saw goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand save an early penalty before

Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Ashkan Dejagah scored to keep the Central Asians on track for their first title since 1976.

Japan and Australia also maintained their early impetus, Takehiro Tomiyasu’s effort helping the East Asians beat Saudi Arabia 1-0, and goalkeeper Mat Ryan saving two penalties in a tense shootout victory as Graham Arnold’s Socceroos despatched Uzbekistan following a goalless draw in Al Ain.

A late penalty from Ahmed Khalil ensured the UAE survived a stirring Kyrgyz Republic fightback to seal a hard-fought 3-2 success, drama which was followed 24 hours later by Korea Republic’s 2-1 defeat of Bahrain – a win guaranteed by defender Kim Jin-su’s terrific header.

Japan fans enjoy their team's run to the final

Kyrgyz Republic took part in their first Asian Cup

The Islamic Republic of Iran eased past China 3-0 to advance to the semi-finals

Kim Jin-su of Korea Republic headed the winning goal against Bahrain in the Round of 16 Qatar's Almoez Ali scored a record-breaking ninth goal in the final against Japan

Qatar duly completed the quarter-final line-up, this time Bassam Al Rawi’s pinpoint free-kick proving enough to send Felix Sanchez’s side into the next round at the expense of 2007 champions Iraq.With VAR now available, Ritsu Doan’s 57th minute penalty in a 1-0 win over Vietnam subsequently eased Japan through to the semi-finals, a run to the final four which was to be matched in emphatic style by Iran who flexed their considerable muscles once again throughout a convincing 3-0 defeat of China.

In the other quarter-finals, Ali Mabkhout struck on 68 minutes as the UAE beat Australia 1-0 to advance, while a superb second-half Abdelaziz Hatim goal from distance helped Qatar edge Korea Republic 1-0 and continue their impressive campaign.

Yuya Osaka scored his third and fourth goals of UAE 2019 as Iran’s adventure ended after a 3-0 semi-final defeat to Japan, Hajime Moriyasu’s charges finding the net three times in a decisive second-half display which appeared to augur well for the final.

Japan’s success was to set up a dream final between one of the competition’s perennial heavyweights and Qatar, who extinguished the UAE’s hopes of claiming a first-ever AFC Asian Cup title with a thumping 4-0 victory in Abu Dhabi.

With some 36,776 spectators watching on at an atmospheric Zayed Sports City Stadium, it was to be the Qataris who took the lead through Almoez Ali’s acrobatic finish beyond goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda – his ninth goal of the campaign and one which helped him surpass Iran legend Ali Daei's record of eight goals at a single

edition of the tournament set in 1996. Another thunderbolt from Hatim doubled Qatar’s lead on 27 minutes and, despite Takumi Minamino pulling one back for Japan early in the second period, Akram Afif’s accuracy from 12 yards – following Maya Yoshida’s VAR reviewed handball – ensured Qatar were not to be denied as they brought the curtain down on four weeks of high-octane entertainment in the Emirates.

James Troisi and his team-mates celebrate his extra-time winner in the final

Australia’s players on the podium after their 2-1 victory over Korea Republic in Sydney

2015: Australia

As a sea of green and gold rose to acclaim host nation Australia’s win

over two-time champions Korea Republic in the final of the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, it provided a rousing conclusion to what had been a truly remarkable 23 days of football down under.

The Socceroos’ 2-1 victory signalled the end of a continental extravaganza which had dazzled throughout, and one that had undoubtedly brought with it high-quality action, sold-out venues, record-breaking media coverage and a new champion.

James Troisi’s winning goal, a firm close-range finish following goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyeon’s parry, came in the 105th minute of a pulsating final that had seen Son Heung-min strike late on to equalise Massimo Luongo’s thunderbolt of an opener and send the match into extra-time.

Their narrow defeat in the title showdown was Korea Republic’s only loss of the tournament, with head coach Uli Stielike’s side losing out in what was the nation’s first appearance in the final since losing on penalties to Saudi Arabia in 1988.

After Australia had beaten Kuwait 4-1 on the opening day at Melbourne’s Rectangular Stadium, the two eventual finalists saw off Oman and the Kuwaitis to emerge from Group A, while in Group B, China PR and Uzbekistan secured the top two spots ahead of Saudi Arabia and DPR Korea to seal their places in the quarter-finals.

Elsewhere, previous hosts Qatar and Bahrain were both eliminated as the Islamic Republic of Iran finished three points clear of the United Arab Emirates to top Group C.

Defending champions Japan, featuring the likes of Keisuke Honda and Shinji Kagawa, also went through, as the Samurai Blue claimed pole position in Group D thanks to three wins out of three. They were joined in the last eight by 2007 winners Iraq after they held off the combined challenge of Jordan and AFC Asian Cup debutants Palestine to come second.

The quarter-finals proved to be no less gripping, with Tim Cahill scoring twice to help Australia beat China 2-0 in Brisbane as Ange Postecoglou’s charges set up a surprise semi-final against the United Arab Emirates after Shinji Kagawa’s miss in a tense penalty shootout saw Japan exit the tournament.

In the other half of the draw, Iran lost to Iraq in a pulsating, topsy-turvy clash in Canberra

that was similarly decided via penalties. The Iraqis, under the wily guidance of Radhi Shenaishil, would go on to meet Korea Republic in the semi-finals following a brace from the ever-influential Son in a 2-0 extra-time defeat of Uzbekistan.

Iraq’s hopes of a second AFC Asian Cup final appearance in the space of three editions were, though, to come to an end against the Koreans who ran out 2-0 winners to book their place in the final against Australia after they saw off the United Arab Emirates – who would eventually finish third – courtesy of goals from defensive duo Trent Sainsbury and Jason Davidson.

The AFC Asian Cup was a defining milestone for host nation Australia as well as Asia’s sporting history. It was the most


101100

watched AFC Asian Cup ever, since the first event was played in 1956 and won by Korea Republic.

Fifty-nine years later, the clash between Australia and the Taeguk Warriors smashed all viewership, attendance and social media records. In Korea Republic, an overwhelming 28 million (some 57 percent of the population) watched part of the final live, making the game one of the most watched football events in history on Korean television.

The drama-laden finale at Sydney’s Stadium Australia was also the eighth

sell-out of the tournament, pushing the aggregate attendance to a staggering 650,000. By January 31, 2015, the event had reached a worldwide television audience in excess of one billion.

The competition itself set a record for the most consecutive matches at a major football tournament without a draw - the run of 26 eclipsing the previous record of 18 set at the 1930 FIFA World Cup in Uruguay, while Emirati striker Ali Mabkhout found the net after just 14 seconds to record the fastest AFC Asian Cup goal ever in his country’s group stage defeat of Bahrain.

2011: Qatar

When Japan’s Tadanari Lee pounced to score the winner against Australia in the

AFC Asian Cup 2011 Qatar final, the Samurai Blue striker ensured a slice of history not only for himself, but for his country as well.

Prior to the continental get-together in Qatar, Japan had, along with IR Iran and Saudi Arabia, shared the title of being the most successful side in Asian Cup history, each side having won the tournament on three occasions. All that was about to change. Lee’s extra-time strike against the resilient Socceroos underlined the fact that Japan were indeed Asia‘s leading power, and sealed a record fourth regional triumph for Alberto Zaccheroni’s men following back-to-back wins in 2000 and 2004, as well as their inaugural success in 1992.

Not that Japan had it all their own way in Qatar.

They began the tournament in somewhat inauspicious fashion, a 2-2 draw with Jordan in their Group B opener hardly an indication of what was to come.

Undaunted, Japan bounced back admirably

to record a narrow win over Syria and a 5-0 demolition of Saudi Arabia, duly sealing their place in the knockout phase.

With many observers busy making Japan favourites to win the competition, it soon became clear that a handful of other teams were also hitting form at just the right time.

Korea Republic, Australia and Qatar all impressed during the group stages, while Iran advanced from Group D with an admirable 100 per cent record.

As Asia watched on, it was Japan who kicked off the quarter-finals, a Shinji Kagawa brace and an 89th minute strike from Masahiko Inoha handing them a 3-2 win over host nation Qatar and a place in the last four.

Uzbekistan quickly followed suit thanks to a 2-1 win over Jordan.

The following day, defending champions Iraq were eliminated following a 1-0 extra time loss to Australia, while Korea Republic also required 120 minutes to beat Iran 1-0 courtesy of a Yoon Bit-garam strike.

With only four teams left standing, all eyes turned to the Al Gharafa Stadium as fierce rivals Japan and Korea Republic locked horns with a place in the final at stake.

Ki Sung-yueng drew first blood for the Taegeuk Warriors when he converted a 23rd minute penalty, only for Ryoichi Maeda to equalise six minutes after the half-hour mark.

With neither team able to find a winner, the game went into extra time, and it was Japan who edged ahead, Hajime Hosogai scoring in the 97th minute.

Just when it looked as though Japan had done enough for the win, Hwang Jae-won scrambled the ball home in the 120th minute to send the match to a penalty shootout.

It was, however, not to be for the Koreans as they failed to convert their first three efforts, paving the way for Yasuyuki Konno to convert the winning kick from 12 yards and book Japan a spot in the final.

Being crowned champions was, nevertheless, far from a foregone conclusion for Japan,

especially after Australia joined them in the final thanks to an emphatic 6-0 win over Uzbekistan.

In the end, and after all the drama that had unfolded in Qatar, it came down to one final match: Japan versus Australia at the Khalifa International Stadium. One team looking to claim a record fourth title, the other hoping to seal a maiden crown having joined the Asian Football Confederation in 2006.

The Australians undoubtedly enjoyed the better of the proceedings and it was they who came closest to sealing a win in regulation time, Luke Wilkshire’s cross just after the break coming back off the bar before Tim Cahill’s follow-up effort was cleared off the line.

With the score level at 0-0 after 90 fascinating minutes, extra-time beckoned once again, and it was the Samurai Blue who went on to claim the title in the 109th minute – Lee converting a Yuto Nagatomo cross to spark wild celebrations in the Japan camp.

To cap off a fine tournament for them, Samurai Blue playmaker Keisuke Honda picked up the Most Valuable Player award, while Korea Republic’s Koo Ja-cheol was named Top Goalscorer for his five-goal haul.

Preliminary Round

2007: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam

It was the proverbial David versus Goliath contest as a band of battlers from a war-torn

and divided nation came together as one to take on a genuine Asian football superpower: well-financed, well-prepared and ready to claim the coveted AFC Asian Cup trophy for the fourth time in what was their sixth appearance in the final since 1984. It was Iraq versus Saudi Arabia and it was the climax to one of the most memorable tournaments on record.

No one had really given Iraq a chance. Their country was in tatters and there was sectarian violence on a daily basis, making it hard to focus on football when the safety of family and friends is foremost in the mind.

But, despite having barely two months preparation time, Iraq overcame the odds and embarked on an undefeated run that would take them all the way to a final showdown with the mighty Saudis.

With the Asian Cup group stages being held in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand, Iraq opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Group A hosts Thailand at a rain-soaked Rajamangala Stadium, before sensationally

stunning Australia and their Europe-based stars with a thoroughly deserved 3-1 victory.

Iraq rounded off their group games with a goalless draw with Oman, topping the table to set up a quarter-final clash with Vietnam, which they duly won 2-0 courtesy of a double from the irrepressible Younis Mahmoud, who would finish joint top scorer with four goals along with Saudi Arabia‘s Yasser Al Qahtani and Japan‘s Naohiro Takahara.

It was truly a sign of things to come.

Elsewhere, defending champions Japan emerged unscathed from Group B and then progressed to the last four thanks to a quarter-final penalty shootout success against Australia, while Korea Republic failed to shine in qualifying from Group D before beating Group C winners Iran on penalties to seal their semi-final berth.

Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, finished top of Group D with seven points from a possible nine, and then defeated the impressive Uzbekistan 2-1 to edge into the semis and ever closer to a fourth continental crown.

Iraq’s dream campaign continued with a semi-final against Korea Republic in Kuala Lumpur and with both sides cancelling each other out after 120 minutes of action at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, the tie went to penalties.

The Iraqis scored all their spot-kicks while Yeom Ki-hun and Kim Jung-woo failed to find the target to give the West Asians a 4-3 victory and a place in the final; a scenario few expected when the tournament kicked-off.

Saudi Arabia’s semi-final victory against Japan at the My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi was just as dramatic.

In a true game of nip and tuck, the Saudis held the advantage twice, only to see a resilient Japan side level matters shortly after going behind.

Head coach Helio dos Anjos‘ charges were not to be denied however, Al Ahli forward Malek Mouath scoring what would prove to be the decisive goal in the 57th minute to seal a breathless 3-2 win and set up a winner takes all showdown with Iraq.

The final was the last chapter in what the media had embraced as Iraq’s “fairytale” and, unfortunately for Saudi Arabia fans, it was to have a happy ending as the Lions of Mesopotamia fought tooth-and-nail to claim Asian Cup glory against the odds.

Roared on by the overwhelming majority packed into Jakarta’s Bung Karno Stadium, the Iraqis refused to let the Saudis play their brand of free flowing football and a 72nd minute winner from the tournament’s Most Valuable Player Mahmoud sealed the historic triumph that dominated the sporting headlines worldwide and, temporarily at least, united a fractured nation.

2004: PR China

China 2004 marked another evolution in the history of Asia’s flagship tournament with

the number of teams participating in the finals increasing from 12 to 16, and an incredible 41 of the then 45 AFC Member Associations taking part in the qualifiers for the 13th edition of the competition for which defending champions Japan and hosts China received direct entry into the finals.

With the Asian Cup door opening for a greater number of participants it was no surprise to see teams appearing on the Confederation’s biggest stage for the first time, with Jordan and Turkmenistan making their debut in the finals.

Both newcomers proved they were not there just to make up the numbers with Turkmenistan holding Saudi Arabia to a 2-2 draw on their finals debut – which would be the only point the three-time champions would garner as the Saudis finished bottom of Group C below the Central Asians – and Jordan exceeding all expectations by reaching the quarter-finals at their first attempt.

With home field advantage, China were hoping to better their runners-up finish in 1984 and finally place their hands on the coveted trophy but things didn’t start as planned, with Arie Haan’s side conceding a last minute equaliser

in their 2-2 draw with Bahrain, who would create a shock even greater than that of Jordan with the Gulf kingdom making it all the way to the semi-finals.

China got back on track with an emphatic 5-0 hammering of Indonesia before emerging top of the Group A table thanks to a single goal triumph over Qatar, who also lost their opening match as the Indonesians picked up their first ever AFC Asian Cup finals win with Budi Sudarsono and Ponaryo Astaman on target in the historic 2-1 success.

Either side of the losses to China and Indonesia, Qatar were held to a 1-1 draw by Bahrain, who again left it late to salvage a point with Mohamed Hubail, who netted the opener against China, scoring one minute into stoppage time to follow up Husain Ali’s 89th minute leveller against the tournament hosts.

A comfortable 3-1 win over Indonesia followed for Bahrain, whose reward for finishing runners-up in Group A was a quarter-final clash with Uzbekistan, the only team to advance to the knockout phase with a 100% record following consecutive 1-0 wins over Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Turkmenistan.

Bahrain were four minutes away from a place in

Opening Ceremony of the Asian Cup 2004, China, BeijingJapan no 5, Captain Tsuneyasu Miyamoto lifting the Asian Cup 2004 after winning against China

the semi-finals after an Aala Hubail double had cancelled out Alexander Geynrikh’s 60th minute opener only for a late leveller from Vladimir Shishelov to force extra-time.

With neither side able to add to their tally the game went to penalties. Mohamed Juma Basheer and Marat Bikmaev misses took the shootout to sudden death and after Aala Hubail had made it 4-3 to Bahrain, Leonid Koshelev needed to hit the target to keep the Uzbeks in the tournament.

However, the then-Pakhtakor midfielder failed to convert sending Bahrain through to a semi-final showdown with defending champions Japan, who themselves needed penalties to end the impressive run of debutants Jordan.

In the other quarter-finals, Zheng Zhi scored two late penalties to supplement Hao Haidong’s eighth minute opener as hosts China booked their place in the final four at the expense of Iraq, while Iran edged Korea Republic in a seven-goal thriller, with mercurial midfielder Ali Karimi netting a hat-trick in the 4-3 win that ultimately helped him secure the joint-top scorer award with Aala Hubail.

Hubail scored his fourth and fifth goals of the

campaign as Bahrain’s heroic run ended after an epic semi-final with Japan, who were made to work hard to keep their grip on the coveted trophy with the Samurai Blue needing a 90th minute Yuji Nakazawa equaliser to make it 3-3 and force extra-time.

Keiji Tamada, who scored ten minutes into the second-half to see Japan take a 2-1 lead, was the hero for head coach Zico’s charges, netting the decisive goal in the 93rd minute to set up a dream final between the title holders and hosts China, who ended Iran’s hopes of a fourth AFC Asian Cup title with a 4-3 shootout victory after the two sides were locked at 1-1 at the end of extra-time in the other semi-final.

Some 60,000 fans packed the Beijing Workers Stadium for what was a hard-fought finale and, despite the pressure from a partisan crowd, it was the Japanese who took the lead through Takashi Fukunishi’s 22nd minute strike.

Li Ming levelled for China nine minutes later only for Japan to regain their lead in controversial circumstances in the 65th minute when Koji Nakata scored what came to be known as ‘the hand of Koji’ goal before Tamada struck one minute into stoppage-time to seal the 3-1 win and Japan’s third AFC Asian Cup title.

2000: Lebanon

When Shigeyoshi Mochizuki fired home the winner to seal Japan’s 1-0 victory over

Saudi Arabia in the final of the AFC Asian Cup 2000, the midfielder reinforced the undeniable change in the power balance in Asian football as the pendulum swung away from the west of the continent firmly towards the east.

After seven title wins for West Asian sides between 1968 and 1996 – which included three for Saudi Arabia – Mochizuki’s 29th minute strike enabled Japan to lift their second Asian Cup following their maiden success eight years earlier. Thanks to the Samurai Blue’s victory in Lebanon, the landscape of Asian football was most definitely changing.

Japan’s burgeoning continental dominance was, many observers declared, down to a carefully planned football development programme that had been started in the early 1990s, and which by the turn of the millennium was reaping handsome dividends. They had a point.

At the 2000 tournament itself, Japan were a force to be reckoned with, scoring 21 goals in their six matches and continuing the momentum they had found during the qualifiers when they

netted an equally impressive 13 times during their three fixtures.

They began their campaign with a comfortable 4-1 Group C win over Saudi Arabia – their eventual opponents in the final – and followed that three-point haul with an 8-0 demolition of Uzbekistan and a 1-1 draw with Qatar.

The striking duo of Naohiro Takahara and Akinori Nishizawa were key to Japan’s success. The pair both bagged hat-tricks during the romp against Uzbekistan and would go on to finish with five goals apiece. They were, however, both beaten to the top goalscorer award by Korea Republic’s Lee Dong-gook who scored six.

Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, recovered sufficiently to finish second in the group and move through to the last eight following a 0-0 draw with Qatar and a comprehensive 5-0 win over the Uzbeks.

In Group B, China and Kuwait occupied the first two slots courtesy of the win and two draws they both picked up, while Korea Republic also progressed to the quarter-finals as – along with Qatar – one of the best two third-placed teams.

South Korea No 2, Kang Chul celebrates with teammates Japan No 10, Hiroshi Nanami receives the MVP award

Host nation Lebanon got their Group A matches off to a disappointing start when eventual table toppers Iran beat them 4-0 in Beirut.

However they then drew 2-2 with Iraq and could have qualified for the next phase had they beaten Thailand in their last game. It was not to be however, as Lebanon’s 1-1 draw saw the Iraqis seal second place despite the fact that they lost 1-0 to Iran courtesy of Ali Daei’s 77th minute strike on the same day.

A whopping 17 goals were then scored in the quarter-finals, high drama that included Korea Republic edging out Iran 2-1 in extra-time thanks to a Lee Dong-gook effort, and Saudi Arabia also needing more than the regulation 90 minutes to beat Kuwait 3-2.

China found things somewhat easier against Qatar as they emerged 3-1 winners with Li Ming, Qi Hong and Yang Chen all scoring.

Meanwhile, Japan downed Iraq 4-1, with Hiroshi Nanami scoring twice, to set up an eagerly anticipated semi-final showdown against China.

Indeed, the encounter was arguably the best match of the tournament, with Nishizawa scoring two goals in quick succession as the Samurai Blue edged China 3-2 in the battle of Beirut.

An unfortunate Fan Zhiyi own goal had put the Japanese 1-0 ahead in the 21st minute, but China hit back after Qi netted an equaliser on the half hour mark. Yang duly handed China a 2-1 lead three minutes into the second half but Nishizawa found the back of the net in the 53rd and 61st minute to seal a sensational win.

In the other semi, a last gasp Lee Dong-gook goal was not enough to deny Saudi Arabia a spot in the final, the reigning champions winning 2-1 to set up a repeat of the 1992 Asian Cup final against Japan.

As then, it was Japan who emerged with the trophy, Mochizuki’s goal proving the difference as his side registered their second Asian Cup triumph in three tournaments, while leaving Saudi Arabia still searching for that elusive fourth title.

Having been denied a hat-trick of continental titles by Japan at the previous AFC

Asian Cup finals, Saudi Arabia were hoping that a return to more familiar territory and an impressive run to the Round of 16 at the 1994 FIFA World Cup would see them reassert their dominance as the 11th edition of Asia’s flagship tournament took place in neighbouring UAE.

The last tournament of the 20th century epitomised just how far Asia’s flagship competition had evolved since its inception in 1956, with the number of participants increasing from eight to 12 teams and TV coverage hitting record levels in terms of hours and reach, with matches being broadcast in 35 countries throughout the continent.

Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Stadium was the venue for the opening match, as the UAE came from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Korea Republic – Asia’s other representatives at USA ’94 – in what was the beginning of a five-match unbeaten run for the hosts that would ultimately end on the final day.

Three days later and after going down 2-0 to Jasem Al Huwaidi’s first half brace, the UAE

then rallied after the interval to defeat former champions Kuwait 3-2.

In their final group match, a 2-0 win over Indonesia ensured top spot in Group A for the UAE, before Kuwait saw off Korea Republic by an identical score line to finish second behind the hosts.

Korea Republic’s failure to claim a top-two finish didn’t end their interest in the tournament as they advanced to the knockout stage as one of the two best third-place finishers alongside Iraq, with Syria the side to miss out.

The Syrians had started their Group C campaign impressively enough, coming within five minutes of a shock victory over defending champions Japan, but an 84th minute Tareq Jabban own goal and a strike with two minutes to go from 1992 final hero Takuya Takagi cancelled out Nader Jokhadar’s seventh-minute opener.

Japan would go on to top the table with a 100% record after a 4-0 defeat of debutants Uzbekistan and a narrow 1-0 win over China, who finished second on goal difference ahead of Syria and the Uzbeks, who all ended their

group stage campaign with three points.

While champions Japan progressed to the knockout stage with a perfect record, the same was not the case for the 1992 runners-up Saudi Arabia who started well enough with an emphatic 6-0 Group B win over Thailand, a victory that was followed by a 1-0 defeat of Iraq before the Green Falcons went down 3-0 to Iran in a top-of-the-table clash.

Japan duly bowed out in the last eight after Al Huwaidi’s second double, and fifth goal overall, consigned the defending champions to a 2-0 defeat by Kuwait, whose reward was a semi-final clash with the UAE after the hosts edged Iraq thanks to Abdulrahman Ibrahim’s extra-time winner.

Saudi Arabia also remained in the hunt with an epic 4-3 win over China, a victory that would see them renew acquaintances with Iran, who stormed into the semi-finals following a 6-2 hammering of Korea Republic.

Four of Team Melli’s goals in their quarter-final romp came from Ali Daei, but the scoring touch of the man who would emerge as one of Asia’s greatest strikers deserted him when it mattered most, with the then 27-year-old failing to find the

net in regulation and extra-time before missing in the shootout as the Saudis advanced to the final with a 4-3 win on penalties.

Daei did add another in the third-place play-off to take his personal tally to eight – the highest ever in an individual tournament – as Iran defeated Kuwait 3-2 on penalties after the score was tied at 1-1 after extra-time.

But it was the prize on offer at the conclusion of the following match that Daei would covet more than his top scorer award as hosts UAE, 1-0 conquerors of Kuwait, took on Saudi Arabia in the final.

Those present at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium witnessed a hard-fought encounter between two evenly-matched teams.

The Gulf rivals could not be separated after 120 minutes of football resulting in a shootout and for the second time in their history – after defeating Korea Republic in the 1988 final – it was Saudi Arabia who prevailed on penalties, with Khalid Al Muwallid holding his nerve to score the decisive spot-kick as the Saudis sealed the 4-2 victory to join Iran as three-time AFC Asian Cup winners.

1992: Japan

The AFC Asian Cup 1992 proved to be the prelude to an era of Japanese domination,

their 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia at the Hiroshima Park Main Stadium the first of the four titles won thus far by the Samurai Blue.

Having automatically qualified as reigning champions, Saudi Arabia were on a mission to defend the Asian Cup crown they had won four years earlier in Doha. The talented West Asians would on this occasion, however, fall at the final hurdle.

Host nation Japan were the other automatic entry, while China, Iran, DPR Korea, Qatar, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates successfully came through the qualifiers in which 20 Asian nations competed.

Pitted against the UAE, Iran and DPR Korea in Group A, Japan, coached by Dutchman Hans Ooft, failed to fire in their first match at the Bingo Stadium in Onomichi and were held to a goalless draw by the UAE.

Masashi Nakayama subsequently kept the Japanese in contention after firing a 80th minute equaliser against DPR Korea in Hiroshima,

while Kazuyoshi Miura then scored a winner in the 85th minute against three-time champions Iran to seal top spot in the group ahead of the UAE and send his side through to the semi-finals.

Elsewhere, Saudi Arabia topped Group B in similar fashion – drawing their first two matches against China (1-1) and Qatar (1-1), before winning their third 4-2 against rock bottom Thailand, a result that duly set up intriguing West and East Asia derby semi-finals.

The pulsating semi-final between Japan and 1984 runners-up China would go down in Asian Cup history as a true classic, Japan coming from behind to edge China 3-2 – thanks to a brilliant winner from Masashi Nakayama six minutes from time.

Xie Yuxin gave the Chinese side an ideal start courtesy of a first minute goal, but subsequent strikes from Masahiro Fukuda and Tsuyoshi Kitazawa put the hosts 2-1 in front early in the second half. Li Xiao’s 70th minute strike duly made it 2-2 before Nakayama’s winner sent Japan through to the final.

Saudi Arabia v China P.R, 1992 Asian Cup

Japan’s Masami Ihara

Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, were riding high on the brilliance of Saeed Al Owairan who, two years later, would receive the AFC Player of The Year award.

After finding the net for the first time in the competition against Thailand during the group stage, the 25-year old Owairan continued his scoring run in the semis by netting the first in Saudi Arabia’s 2-0 win over arch-rivals UAE. Fahad Al Bishi then scored the second to ensure a date with destiny against Japan and a third successive final appearance for the Saudis.

Playing on the same day as the final, China sealed third spot thanks to a 4-3 penalty shootout success against the UAE.

The UAE, who were to host the next edition of the Asian Cup, went ahead through Khalid Mubarak after only 10 minutes, but Hao Haidong drew China level five minutes later, before extra-time failed to separate the protagonists and the ensuing spot kick drama.

With 50,000 spectators watching on in Hiroshima, and despite Owairan’s best efforts, Japan were not to be denied as a 36th minute goal from Takuya Takagi helped the hosts lift their maiden Asian Cup trophy. Little did anyone know that it was to be the first of many.

1988: Qatar

Reigning champions Saudi Arabia found themselves in more familiar climes than

Singapore, where they had won their first continental title four years earlier, when the ninth edition of the AFC Asian Cup finals was hosted in the neighbouring Gulf emirate of Qatar.

And there was more than a touch of the familiar to their group stage opponents in Doha, with the Saudis pooled in Group B alongside 1984 beaten finalists China and Kuwait, who they defeated in the group phase in Sinfgapore.

After kicking-off the defence of their title with a 2-0 win over Syria, courtesy of goals from Saleh Al Mutlaq (19th) and Mohammed Al Suwaiyed (81st) the Saudis would renew acquaintances with Kuwait in their second group stage match.

Following a goalless draw between the 1980 and 1984 AFC Asian Cup winners, the Saudis again had to settle for a share of the spoils with their neighbours as the defending champions drew 1-1 with Bahrain before Fahad Al Bishi’s 56th minute strike was enough to edge past China in a rematch of the last tournament’s final and advance as Group B winners. China progressed as runners-up.

The East Asians had positioned themselves strongly in the group with wins over Syria (3-0) and Bahrain (1-0) as well as a 2-2 draw with Kuwait ensuring that the Chinese wouldn’t finish any lower than second going into the their final match.

Defeat to the Saudis set up an all-East Asian semi-final between China and Korea Republic, who romped to first place in the Group A table with a 100% record following defeats of the UAE (1-0), Japan (2-0), hosts Qatar (3-2) and Iran (3-0) in their final top-of-the-table decider with the three-time continental champions.

Regulation time of the hard-fought semi-final ended all square with neither side being able to find the net, before three goals in the first-half of extra-time settled the tie.

Lee Tae-ho, whose eighth-minute penalty gave the Koreans a 1-0 win over the UAE in their tournament curtain-raiser, gave the two-time continental champions the edge when he broke the deadlock after 93 minutes.

Mai Chao levelled for China five minutes later, but parity would not last long, with Lee

Korea Republic’s Kim Joo-sung; Most Valuable Player at the 1988 Asian Cup

Korea Republic’s Lee Tae-ho was the leading goalscorer at the 1988 Asian Cup

scoring his second of extra-time and third of the tournament after 104 minutes to send the Koreans into a title decider with AFC Asian Cup holders Saudi Arabia.

The defending champions booked their place in the final after a 16th minute strike from Saudi legend Majed Abdullah – scorer in the 1984 triumph over China – proved sufficient to see off the challenge of Iran, who would go on to defeat China 3-0 on penalties in the third-place playoff.

The final, played the day after the Iranians had claimed third, would also be decided by penalties with the defences of both emerging Asian football superpowers coming out on top at Al Ahli Stadium in the Qatar capital with neither the Saudis nor the Koreans able to find the target after 120 minutes of football.

Saudi Arabia were handed an early boost in the shootout when Cho Min-kook missed the opening penalty but after Saleh Al Nuayamah and semi-final hero Lee had scored from their spot-kicks a Mohamed Al Jawad miss saw the Saudis’ advantage slip.

Both teams successfully converted their next

two penalties but after Cho Yoon-hwan failed from 12 yards with the score at 3-3, Fahad Al Bishi gratefully accepted the opportunity to be the hero for his country and scored the winning penalty that made Saudi Arabia the third nation to successfully defend the AFC Asian Cup crown after Korea Republic and Iran.

1984: Singapore

The AFC Asian Cup finals returned to South East Asia for only the second time in the

competition’s history, with the eighth edition of the continent’s rapidly evolving flagship tournament taking place in the island republic of Singapore.

Hosts Singapore were hoping that home field advantage and the ‘Kallang roar’ would inspire the Lions to go further than regional neighbours Thailand, who finished third in the 1972 AFC Asian Cup finals, which marked the first time the tournament bandwagon had rolled into South East Asia.

Despite having no Asian Cup pedigree – the Lions had failed to reach the finals in all four of their previous qualifying campaigns – there was a positive start for Singapore as the Hussein Aljunied-coached side defeated India 2-0 on their finals debut.

Malek Awab wrote his name into Singaporean football folklore by netting his country’s first ever Asian Cup finals goal with 37 minutes at the National Stadium played before the majority of the 21,000 fans were cheering Singapore’s second, which came on 79 minutes courtesy of Razali Saad.

Singapore couldn’t build on that opening win and after conceding two first-half goals to go down 2-0 to China, the hosts were edged 1-0 by the UAE before ending their inaugural campaign on a relatively positive note.

Razali grabbed his second goal of the tournament, with the midfielder’s 62nd minute strike cancelling out a Shahrokh Bayani penalty scored after 12 minutes as the Lions shared a 1-1 draw with three-time champions Iran.

The draw was enough for Iran to end the group stage unbeaten after a 3-0 opening win against the UAE was followed by a 2-0 defeat of China and a surprise goalless stalemate with India.

China ultimately topped the Group B table on goal difference, picking themselves up from an opening loss to the Iranians to defeat Singapore (2-0), India (3-0) and the UAE (5-0) with Jia Xiuquan scoring in three successive matches.That would ultimately see the tournament MVP also emerge as the competition’s joint-top scorer alongside the Iranian duo of Bayani and Naser Mohammad Khani.

China’s reward was a semi-final showdown with defending champions Kuwait, who finished

Saudi Arabia’s 1984 wining team

runners-up in a surprisingly low-scoring Group A behind Saudi Arabia, who took pole position by edging their Gulf neighbours on the final day of the group phase, with Mohaisen Al Jam’an settling the match two minutes from time with the only goal of the game.

Both sides had gone into the fixture undefeated, with the Saudis edging Syria 1-0 either side of 1-1 draws with 1980 runners-up Korea Republic and Qatar. Kuwait narrowly defeat Qatar 1-0, and after a goalless draw against the Koreans, the AFC Asian Cup holders became the only side to score more than one goal in a Group A match when they defeated Syria 3-1 in their penultimate match.

Both semi-finals were hard-fought affairs, with the Asian Cup holders’ final-four clash with China, and Saudi Arabia’s meeting with three-time champions Iran both going beyond the regulation 90 minutes.

Shahrokh Bayani’s goal two minutes from the interval looked to have been enough to keep Iran on track for a fourth continental triumph in just five tournaments but an own goal from the

midfielder’s namesake Shahin Bayani gave the Saudis a lifeline.

With neither side able to take the initiative in extra time, the tie would be settled by a shootout and with midfielder Mohammad Panjali the only one of the 10 players to miss, the Saudis snatched a 5-4 win and ultimately set up a final meeting with China, who knocked out the champions thanks to Li Huayun’s winner 16 minutes into extra-time of the other semi-final the following day.

The third-place playoff also went to penalties with Kuwait edging Iran 5-3 in the shootout after extra-time had ended 1-1. There was to be no such drama in the final, with the Saudis winning their first continental crown with a 2-0 defeat of China.

Shaye Al Nafisah gave his side the perfect start when he opened the scoring after just 10 minutes, and Saudi Arabia’s victory was complete a minute after the interval when Majed Abdullah – already well on his way to becoming one of the legends of Arab and Asian football – claimed the second decisive goal.

And it was DPR Korea who drew first blood when Pak Jong Hun opened the scoring from the penalty spot after 19 minutes, only for Jung Hae Won to net the equaliser in the 80th minute.

Just when it looked like extra-time was on the cards, Jung scored again with a minute remaining to send Korea Republic through to their second final in three tournaments.

In the other last-four clash, it was not to be for Iran as their hopes of a fourth straight title were dashed following a 2-1 defeat to the Kuwaitis.

Following a goalless first half, the hosts claimed a two-goal lead courtesy of goals from Yaqoub (63’) and Al Dakhil (85’), although Hossein Faraki did grab a 90th-minute consolation for their opponents.

On September 30, 1980, in front of 25,000 fans at the Sabah Al-Salem Stadium, a new champion of Asia was crowned when Kuwait claimed a rousing 3-0 win over Korea Republic for their first title.

Sa’ad Al Houti got Kuwait on their way after firing them in front in the eighth minute, before Al Dakhil (34’, 68’) netted a double to put the result beyond doubt.

Iran did give their fans something to cheer about after beating DPR Korea 3-0 in the third-place playoff, with goals coming from Fariba (48’) and Faraki (66’, 69’).

The seventh edition of the AFC Asian Cup was held in Kuwait and, given its growing

stature, saw an expanded tournament with 10 teams taking part.

Defending champions Iran, who had won the previous three editions, entered the campaign as firm favourites and were drawn alongside DPR Korea, Syria, China and Bangladesh in Group A.

However, they got off to a slow start and a 0-0 stalemate against Syria in their opening match was followed by a 2-2 draw against China, where they threw away a two-goal lead handed to them by Hamid Alidoosti (25’) and Behtash Fariba (55’) as their opponents netted through efforts from Chen Jingang (75’) and Cai Jinbiao (90’) to earn a share of the spoils.

In fact, it was DPR Korea who made the early running after claiming victories over Bangladesh and the Chinese in their first two outings.

The Iranians did manage to get back on track when they took on the Bangladeshis and cruised to a 7-0 triumph; Fariba putting in a man-of-the-match display with four goals to fuel his side’s return to winning ways.

Team Melli duly sealed their place in the knockout phase after finishing the group stage with a 3-2 triumph over DPR Korea, who also advanced on the final day after defeating Syria 2-1.

Over in Group B, Korea Republic overcame a minor blip after being held to a 1-1 draw by Malaysia in their opening match to record solid 2-0 and 3-0 victories over Qatar and Kuwait respectively.

The situation was not as simple for the Kuwaitis however, as they won just one of their first three games, meaning their final match against the Qatar loomed as a do-or-die encounter.

In the end, the hosts did what was required of them to book their berth in the last four after cruising to a 4-0 win; Faisal Al Dakhil (23’, 57’) leading the way with a well-taken brace while Jasem Yaqoub (49’) and Abdulaziz Al Anberi (66’) were also on target.

Korea Republic also finished off convincingly with a 4-1 rout of United Arab Emirates to seal top spot in the group, which set up an eagerly-anticipated semi-final clash with neighbours DPR Korea.

With three triumphs to their name, Iran are the joint-second most successful team

in AFC Asian Cup history, on a par with Saudi Arabia and only behind four-time champions Japan.

But before the Saudis became a powerhouse by winning a hat-trick of titles between 1984 to 1996, and the emergence of Japan, who have been champions in four of the last six editions, Team Melli were Asia’s dominant force.

They won the tournament for the first time as hosts in 1968, before retaining their title four years later in Thailand when they recorded a 2-1 extra-time win over Korea Republic in the final.

And in 1976, Iran were once again triumphant on home soil as they claimed a third consecutive Asian Cup – a feat yet to be matched.

They got their Group B campaign off to a steady if unspectacular start at the Aryamehr Stadium in Tehran on June 4, defeating neighbours Iraq 2-0 courtesy of goals from Nasser Nouraei (45’) and Hassan Rowshan (57’).

Two days later, Iraq bounced back but only after facing a stern challenge from debutants South Yemen; Kazim Wa’al netting four minutes from time to hand his side a 1-0 win.

Iran were back in action on June 8 to finish off the group stage against South Yemen and if they had not lit up the stage previously, they certainly gave the home fans plenty to shout about after cruising to an 8-0 victory.

There was never really any doubt over the result from the moment Alireza Azizi fired them ahead in the 17th minute, before goals from Nouraei (40’, 42’) and Alireza Khorshidi (45’) handed them a commanding lead at the break.

However, Team Melli showed no signs of letting up in the second half and Gholam Hossein Mazloumi stole the show with a clinical hat-trick (63, 74’, 80’), while Azizi also found the back of the net once more in the 73rd minute.

Meanwhile, the Group A action in Tabriz got underway on June 3 at the Bagh Shomal Stadium, as goals from Abdulaziz Alanbari (10’) and Faisal Al Dakhil (42’) handed Kuwait a 2-0 triumph over Malaysia, who were making their inaugural appearance in the competition.

The Kuwait and Iraq captains, Ibrahim Draihim and Mejbil Fartous shake hands before the title showdown

The Malaysians managed to fare better two days later when they held China to a 1-1 draw, although it could have been even more for them as they took the lead through Mokhtar Dahari’s 50th-minute opener, only for Wang Jilian to equalise a minute from time and earn his side a point.

Still, despite a 1-0 defeat to Kuwait – courtesy of Fat’hi Kameil’s first-minute winner – in their final group game, it was the Chinese who advanced to the last four at the expense of Malaysia as they bettered them on goal difference.

On to the knockout stage and the Kuwaitis were the first team to book their place in the final, although they needed extra-time to beat Iraq 3-2 at the Aryamehr Stadium.

Kuwait twice took the lead through goals from Farouk Ibrahim (17’) and Kameil (77’), but Sabah Abduljalil (41’) and Falah Hassan (85’) netted as the Iraqis responded on both occasions to force extra-time.

Nonetheless, Kuwait refused to be deterred and went on to book their spot in the final when Kameil was on target once more in the 100th minute to net the winner.

Like the Kuwaitis, Iran were also posed with a stern challenge in their semi-final against China and were unable to find the breakthrough in 90 minutes.

However, China’s resistance was eventually broken in extra-time as Khorshidi (100’) and Rowshan (119’) gave the hosts a 2-0 triumph.

On June 13, the stage was set at the Aryamehr Stadium with Iran looking to make it three Asian Cups in a row, while their opponents from Kuwait were bidding to be crowned continental champions for the first time.

In the end, Iran did not disappoint in front of 100,000 fans as Ali Parvin scored in the 73rd minute to hand his side a 1-0 win, confirming Team Melli’s status as Asia’s greatest side of that era.

There was also a landmark moment for China as they marked their maiden appearance with a third-place finish after He Jia struck six minutes after the hour mark to help them beat Iraq 1-0.

strikes by Cha Bum-kun (69’) and Park Lee-chun (78’), although Doeur Sokhom did grab a consolation for the Khmers eight minutes from time.

Things looked equally good for the Koreans in their next game as Park Lee-chun fired them ahead after just two minutes, but Mohammed Sultan (25’) and Ibrahim Draihim (73’) went on to find the back of the net as Kuwait claimed a shock 2-1 victory.

The result ensured qualification from Group B went down to the wire as Khmer Republic and Kuwait faced off in the final game on May 14, and it was the former who went on to seal their progress – and Korea Republic’s – with a 4-0 triumph.

Goals from Sokhom (23’) and Sok Sun Hean (56’) put them firmly in control of proceedings, before the result was put beyond doubt as Tes Sean (59’) and Sea Cheng Eang (80’) weighed in with further strikes.

Nonetheless, that was as far as the Khmers would go as they bowed out in the semi-finals after being defeated 2-1 by Iran despite a brave showing.

Parviz Ghelichkhani proved to be the hero for the Iranians as he grabbed the winner three minutes into the second half, this after Iranpak’s 15th-minute opener had been cancelled out by Sokhom three minutes later.

In the other last-four clash, Thailand’s dream of being crowned Asian champions also came to an end as they were beaten by Korea Republic on penalties following a 1-1 draw.

With neither side able to find the breakthrough in the 90 minutes, the game entered extra-time and the hosts finally struck through a Tantariyanond effort in the 98th minute.

However, Park Lee-chun equalised seven minutes later to send the game to the shootout, where the East Asians prevailed 2-1.

And on May 19, it was Iran who were crowned champions for the second tournament running after recording a 2-1 extra-time win over the Koreans.

Following a goalless first half, Jabbari (48’) broke the deadlock for the Iranians although Park Lee-chun fired Korea Republic level eight minutes after the hour mark.

But in the 107th minute, Kalani – who finished as the tournament’s top scorer – grabbed the winner to hand Iran a second continental crown.Thailand were able to celebrate their debut with a third-place finish after beating Khmer Republic 5-3 on penalties following a 2-2 draw.

Iran’s Husain Ali Kalani was the leading goalscorer

1972 marked the first time the AFC Asian Cup was played on South East Asian soil, with

Bangkok, Thailand the venue as six sides bid to win the continent’s biggest prize.

Thailand qualified automatically as hosts along with defending champions Iran, while the competition also welcomed back inaugural champions Korea Republic who had failed to qualify four years earlier.

Three nations making their tournament debut – Kuwait, Iraq and Khmer Republic (now known as Cambodia) – completed the line-up as the action began at the National Stadium on May 7 with the group matches.

Iran got off to a winning start as goals from Hossein Ali Kalani and Safar Iranpak secured a 2-0 win over the Khmers, while Iraq beat the Koreans 4-2 on penalties after the two protagonists had played out a 0-0 draw.

A day later, the preliminary round action concluded as Thailand’s first Asian Cup appearance ended in a 2-0 defeat to Kuwait, with goals coming from Jawad Khalaf (42’) and Fayez Marzouq (85’).

When the group stage drama got underway, Iran delivered a true statement of intent as they kicked things off in Group A with a 3-0 triumph over the Iraqis, fuelled primarily by Kalani’s clinical hat-trick.

Iraq followed that defeat with a 1-1 draw against Thailand when Ahmed Fathi’s sixth-minute opener was cancelled out by Supakit Meelarpkit (57’).

In the final Group A fixture Iran came from behind to record a 3-2 triumph over the Thais in an enthralling encounter.

Thailand initially appeared to be closing on a victory thanks to a double from Prapon Tantariyanond, but in a stunning five-minute spell in the closing stages, Ali Jabbari grabbed a hat-trick to win it for the Iranians.

In Group B, Korea Republic got the action underway with a dominant 4-1 win over Khmer Republic, with strikes from Park Soo-duk (37’) and Lee Hoe Taik (59’) handing them a comfortable lead before the hour mark.

The result was put beyond doubt after further

The Burmese needed to pull off another stunning result if they were to have any hopes of adding the AFC Asian Cup to their Asian Games title but Iran proved too strong for the South East Asians. Kalani kicked-off Iran’s 3-1 win with just two minutes played and while Aung Khi equalised five minutes into the second half, Eftekhari’s strike on the hour mark and Behzadi’s 71st minute effort ensured Iran continued their 100% record.

Israel returned to winning ways in their penultimate match against Republic of China as Romano netted his second double of the campaign, scoring his third and fourth of the tournament in the second and 60th minutes either side of Zhuan Li’s 46th minute leveller. Shamuel Rosenthal (70th) and Spiegel (76th) sealed the 4-1 win that did the defending champions’ goal differential a power of good ahead of their showdown with Iran, who were two points ahead of the Israelis going into the final match.

Spiegel then joined team-mate Romano on four goals as Israel took a 56th minute lead against Iran, but Behzadi also struck his fourth of the campaign to emerge as tournament joint-top scorer with the Israeli duo as Iran drew level with a quarter-of-an-hour left to play.

A point was enough to give the hosts the title but Parviz Ghelichkani settled the nerves of the 30,000 fans at the Amjadieh Stadium when the midfielder struck with four minutes remaining to make it 2-1 to Iran, a result that also saw Burma finish runners-up after their 2-0 defeat of Hong Kong a day earlier took their points tally to five, one more than deposed champions Israel.

The AFC Asian Cup finals stayed in the Middle East with the fourth edition of the tournament

taking place in Tehran in what began a period of dominance for Iran, who would go on to claim two more consecutive titles after a successful debut in the evolving continental competition.

The 1968 AFC Asian Cup finals witnessed an increase in participants with the number of teams going from four to five, hosts Iran being joined by defending champions Israel, Hong Kong, the Republic of China and Burma – also appearing in the finals for the first time.

Iran made a winning start to the competition but left it late to finally see off Hong Kong, with Homayoun Behzadi netting the first of four goals in the tournament 70 minutes into the fixture at the Amjadieh Stadium. Midfielder Ali Jabbari added a second with two minutes remaining to seal the win for Iran.

Republic of China and Burma, now known as Chinese Taipei and Myanmar respectively, played out a 1-1 draw in the next fixture the

following day. Lim Lushoor’s 63rd minute equaliser cancelled out Mong Halahati’s 13th minute opener in what was a disappointing AFC Asian Cup finals debut for the Burmese, who came to Iran as genuine title contenders having won gold at the 1966 Asian Games.

AFC Asian Cup holders Israel outlined their championship credentials as they began the defence of their continental crown with an emphatic 6-1 hammering of Hong Kong. Mordechai Spiegler (9th, 53rd), Giora Spiegel (52nd, 65th) and Moshe Romano (61st, 71st) all scored doubles while Yuan Kuan Yick scored a 76th minute consolation for the East Asians.

Behzadi joined the Israeli trio on two goals when he opened the scoring 31 minutes into Iran’s 4-0 win over the Republic of China, with Hossein Kalani (34th), Akbar Eftekhari (51st) and Gholam Hossein Farzani (56th) also getting on the score sheet before Burma put themselves back into contention with a 1-0 victory over Israel, courtesy of Suk Bahadur’s 42nd minute strike against the defending champions.

The third edition of the AFC Asian Cup finals saw the tournament move to the Middle

East for the first time with hosts Israel looking to follow in the footsteps of reigning champions Korea Republic and win the trophy on home soil.

Israel opened the tournament on May 26, 1964 against inaugural hosts Hong Kong who, after missing out on the 1960 finals, returned to the AFC Asian Cup after seeing off South Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand in the Central Zone qualifiers held in Saigon in December 1963.

And Hong Kong came within a whisker of denying the hosts an opening victory in the tournament curtain-raiser with Mordechai Spiegler – who had scored in Israel’s 3-0 friendly in Hong Kong on his international debut on January 2, 1964 – breaking the deadlock with 76 minutes played at the Ramat Gan Stadium.

The following day in Haifa, Korea Republic

began their quest for a hat-trick of AFC Asian Cup titles against India and things couldn’t have started any worse for the defending champions with K. Appalaraju putting the South Asians 1-0 up with just three minutes on the clock before Jarnail Singh’s 60th minute strike sealed a famous victory for the AFC Asian Cup newcomers.

India couldn’t follow up their ground breaking win in their next match against Israel with Spiegler getting his second of the tournament from the penalty spot before Yohai Aharoni supplemented the Russia-born striker’s 27th minute opener with the hosts’ second after 77 minutes.

Korea Republic picked up their first win of the tournament in their next match as Seung Ok-park’s 74th minute strike saw the defending champions edge Hong Kong, who let slip a 39th minute lead to go down 3-1 to India in their third and final match.

Li Kwok Keung opened the scoring just before the break at the Bloomfield Stadium in Jaffa only for Inder Singh to equalise on the stroke of half-time. Sukumar Samajapati gave India the lead on the hour mark, before Chuni Goswami’s 77th minute goal sealed India’s second Asian Cup victory.

The win put India level on four points with Israel, who went into their final match knowing that a heavy defeat to Korea Republic could see the East Asians claim a hat-trick of continental titles that seemed highly unlikely after their opening loss to India.

But despite Huh Yoon-jung’s 79th minute goal ensuring a dramatic finish at the Ramat Gan Stadium, first-half goals from Moshe Leon (20th) and Gideon Tish (38th) proved decisive as Israel ended Korea Republic’s reign as Asian champions.

The defeat left the Koreans having to settle for third with India marking their first AFC Asian Cup appearance with a creditable runners-up finish behind Israel.

quest with a 3-1 win over South Vietnam whose tournament then ended with a 5-1 hammering at the hands of Israel. That match saw Nahum Stelmach score his fifth AFC Asian Cup goal having netted a tournament-best four at the inaugural competition four years earlier.

The way the results had gone meant that Korea Republic would win the AFC Asian Cup for a second time if they could beat the Republic of China in the penultimate match day, with the 1958 Asian Games champions set to play their final game against Israel two days later.

And in a closely-fought encounter it was Moon’s 54th minute goal that

Fans at the 1960 Asian Cup (Archive: KFA)

separated the two sides and gave the Koreans their second AFC Asian Cup title, while the Republic of China had to ultimately settle for third place after losing by an identical 1-0 scoreline to Israel on the final day.

Korea Republic, the reigning champions, had home advantage in the defence of

their continental crown when the second edition of the AFC Asian Cup took place at the Hyochang Stadium in Seoul, a facility built specifically for the tournament.

Three participants in the four-team round robin competition were making their second Asian Cup appearance with the hosts joined by Israel and South Vietnam, who advanced as winners of the Western and Central qualifying zones respectively.

Republic of China (now known as Chinese Taipei) ensured there would not be a full house of participants from the inaugural AFC Asian Cup when they defeated Hong Kong 7-4 in the Eastern Zone qualifiers held in the Philippines.The Koreans continued the 1960 finals from where they left off in 1956, firing five goals past South Vietnam to register a 5-1 victory in the tournament curtain raiser.

Cho Yoon-ok got the tournament’s first goal

with 20 minutes played before Woo Sang-kwon – who scored twice in the Koreans’ 5-3 win over the Vietnamese in the 1956 finals – made it 2-0 in the 23rd minute.

Choi Jung-min, another scorer in the previous meeting between the two sides four years earlier, scored the home side’s third six minutes into the second half. Moon Jung-sik made it 4-0 in the 61st minute before Cho netted his second and Korea’s fifth on 71 minutes, after Nguyen Van Tu had pulled one back for South Vietnam.Korea Republic strengthened their grip on the Asian Cup three days later with a 3-0 defeat of Israel.

Cho opened the scoring in the 17th minute and after Woo doubled the lead on the half-hour mark, Cho sealed the 3-0 win in the 60th minute with his fourth of the campaign that ultimately saw him emerge as the 1960 AFC Asian Cup’s top scorer.

(14th and 27th) ensuring the win and ultimately the Hapoel Petah Tivka attacker’s status as the AFC Asian Cup’s first top scorer with four goals.

The destination of the trophy came down to the final day with Israel as well as Korea Republic and South Vietnam in the mathematical reckoning to be the first ever champions and it was the Koreans that would claim their place in history after netting five of the eight goals in a high-scoring finale.

Sung Nak-woon put the East Asians 1-0 up with just five minutes at the Government Stadium in Wan Chai played before a Woo Sang-kwon penalty four minutes before the break ensured the Koreans had the advantage at half-time after Tri Van Dao had equalised.

Le Huu Duc restored parity six minutes into the second half but it was short-lived as Choi Jung-min restored the Koreans’ lead in the 57th minute before Woo’s second of the match made it 4-2 just 60 seconds later.

Huu Duc hit back with his second and South Vietnam’s third in the 63rd minute, but again their opponents’ response was immediate with Choi becoming the third player of the match to bag a brace when he made it 5-3 three minutes later with the final goal of the game as Korea Republic were crowned the first AFC Asian Cup champions.

September 1, 1956 marked a major milestone in Asian football history as hosts Hong

Kong and Israel kicked-off the first ever match in the continent’s flagship tournament, with approximately 30,000 spectators in attendance at the Government Stadium for the seminal moment.

The fans at the venue, which in 1994 would be redeveloped in to the Hong Kong Stadium, had just 12 minutes to wait for the competition’s first goal and it was Hong Kong’s Au Chi Yin who wrote his name in the annals of Asian football lore with the inaugural strike.

The hosts would hold the lead until the 37th minute when Yehoshua Glazer scored, and although Au would put his side back in front shortly after the hour mark, their advantage would last just 10 minutes; Nahum Stelmach drawing Israel level before Glazer’s second of the game in the 76th minute denied Hong Kong the historic first victory.

Five days later Hong Kong were in action again

as Korea Republic made their Asian Cup debut but despite taking a 2-0 lead in the first half, the Koreans battled back to level matters after the break and earn a point that would prove pivotal in the outcome of the four-team tournament.

An even more telling result came in Korea Republic’s next match two days later, as Woo Sang-kwon (53rd) and Sung Nak-woon (65th) got on the scoresheet in a 2-1 victory over Israel, with Stelmach’s second goal in successive matches not enough to deny the Koreans their first Asian Cup win.

South Vietnam had to wait until eight days after the September 1 kick-off to take their tournament bow against Hong Kong and the South East Asian side started with a creditable 2-2 draw.

However, South Vietnam’s chances of becoming the first champions were dealt a huge blow in their next game with Tran Van Tung’s second of the campaign not enough to inspire a fightback against Israel, with Stelmach’s first-half double
