Afro-Asian Cup of Nations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Afro-Asian Cup of Nations is played between the winners of the Asian Cup and African Cup of Nations. The first edition in 1978, where Iran defeated Ghana 3-0, the trophy was not awarded: because the second leg was cancelled due to political problems in Iran. The 1989 and 1999 editions were also cancelled.
The competition was discontinued following a CAF decision on July 30, 2000, after AFC representatives had supported Germany rather than South Africa in the vote for hosting the 2006 World Cup. The competition was scheduled to be resumed in 2005 with the match Tunisia-Japan, but then was cancelled. However the trophy was resumed in 2007 under the name "AFC-CAF Challenge Cup".
