TheAFC Women's Club Championship was thewomen's football club competition in Asia. It involved the top clubs from countries affiliated with theAsian Football Confederation (AFC).[1] It was designed as a pilot competition for theAFC Women's Champions League, which was launched in the2024–25 season.[2]
The concept of an Asian women's club competition was first recommended in 2018.[3] Theinaugural championship in 2019 was held as around-robin tournament among four teams from the east region.[4] This was followed by the2021 championship among four teams from the west region.[5] The last edition of the tournament was held in2023; theAsian Football Confederation had initially decided to cancel the final match after the group stage since the tournament was only intended to be a pilot for theAFC Women's Champions League. However, following backlash, they decided to hold the final match, where Japan'sUrawa Red Diamonds defeated South Korea'sIncheon Hyundai Steel Red Angels 2–1.[2]
