The2006 AFC Cup was the third edition of theAFC Cup, played amongst clubs from nations of theAFC, who are considered to be 'developing countries' as per the 'Vision Asia' members paper of AFC PresidentMohamed Bin Hammam.
Al-Faisaly successfully defended their title, beatingAl-Muharraq 5–4 on aggregate in the final.[1] With this victory Al-Faisaly became the first side to win the competition two years in a row.[2]
TheAFC invited the fourteen 'developing' nations to nominate one or two clubs to participate in the competition. Clubs from Myanmar and North Korea did not participate in the competition. This marked the first year in which clubs from Bahrain participated in the competition, as Bahrain was demoted to a 'developing' status by the AFC.
