List of top-division football clubs in AFC countries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  AFC countries on this map of the world's six football confederations.

The List of top-division football clubs in Asian Football Confederation (AFC) countries. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) includes all Asian countries except Abkhazia, Armenia, Artsakh, Azerbaijan, Chagos Islands, Christmas Island, Cocos Islands, Cyprus, Northern Cyprus, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Russia, South Ossetia and Turkey as members, but also includes the Oceanian countries of Australia, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Each of the AFC member countries have their own football league systems. The clubs playing in each top-level league compete for the title as the country's club champions, and also for places in next season's AFC club competitions: the AFC Champions League, the AFC Cup. Due to promotion and relegation, the clubs playing in the top-level league are different every season; however, some league systems (such as Australia) do not have promotion and relegation.

The champions of the previous season in each country are listed in bold.

'Some clubs play in a national football league other than their own country's. Where this is the case the club is noted as such. In particular, the Australian A-League includes a team from New Zealand, whose national federation is a member of the Oceania Football Confederation.

Club name Club finished the previous season as league champions.

League Ranking[]

Main article:

League rankings are calculated based on the points earned by clubs while playing in Asian club competitions and are used to determine the country's quota in Asian club competitions.[1]

Current champions[]

The below maps display the locations of the current champions of the AFC countries. The map is correct as of the end of the 2020–21 season. Countries where two top-level leagues coexist, and which thus have two champions, are India (the I-League and the Super League) and Palestine (the West Bank Premier League and the Gaza Strip Premier League).
