The 1967 Asian Champion Club Tournament was the first edition of the annual Asian club football competition hosted by Asian Football Confederation.^[1] Originally it was meant to be eight teams in the competition but after the Indian and Iranian teams withdrew, the six domestic champions competed in a knockout tournament to determine the first Asian champion. Hapoel Tel Aviv F.C. from Israel became the first champions of Asia after defeating Selangor FA from Malaysia 2–1 in the final at Bangkok, one of only 2 teams to win their continent's main club competition while only playing 1 game (The other being Adelaide City, who won the 1987 Oceania Club Championship.)
