This is a
list of top-division association football clubs in AFC countries.
The Asian Football Confederation
(AFC) includes all Asian countries except
Armenia
, Azerbaijan
, Cyprus
, Georgia
, Israel
, Kazakhstan
and Turkey
as members,
but also includes the Oceanian countries of
Australia, Guam
, and the
Northern Mariana
Islands
(the association of the Northern Mariana Islands is
a provisional associate member of AFC but not a member of
FIFA).
The football associations of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Georgia,
Israel, Kazakhstan and Turkey are members of
UEFA, the
European football
confederation (Israel and Kazakhstan were previously AFC members
but had left).
Hong
Kong
and Macau
, the
special administrative regions of the People's
Republic of China
, have their own football associations which are
members of AFC. The Republic of China
(called Chinese
Taipei in the international sports community) and Palestine, both members of
the IOC
but not the UN, also
have their own football associations which are members of
AFC.
Each of the AFC member countries have their own football
league systems. The clubs playing in each
top-level league compete for the title as the country's club
champions, and also for places in next season's AFC club
competitions, i.e., the
AFC
Champions League, the
AFC Cup, and the
AFC President's Cup. Due to
promotion and relegation,
the clubs playing in the top-level league are different every
season; however, some league systems (such as Australia) do not
have promotion and relegation.
The champions of the previous season in each country are listed in
bold.
Please note: Some clubs
play in
a national football league other than their own country's.
Where this is the case the club is noted as such.
In particular, the
Australian A-League includes a team from
New
Zealand
, whose national
federation is a member of the Oceania Football
Confederation.
- For clubs playing at lower divisions, see the separate articles
linked to in the relevant sections.
- For clubs belonging to any of the other five continental
football confederations of the world, see List of football clubs.
