Afro-Asian Club Championship

The first two competitions held in 1986 and 1987 were contested over a single match; from 1988 until 1998 the competition was held in a two-legged tie format. The competition was officially discontinued following a CAF decision on 30 July 2000. A rift was created when AFC representatives supported Germany in the vote for hosting the 2006 FIFA World Cup rather than South Africa. In February 2018, CAF President Ahmad Ahmad stated that CAF would consider re-introducing the competition. An announcement was made in 2024 that a championship would be held in Qatar in January 2025. The game would be held in Lusail Stadium with Al Ahly SC (Egypt) against Al Ain FC (UAE). ==Records and statistics==
