AFC Asian Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (202 words)
The AFC Asian Cup is a football competition run by the Asian Football Confederation.
The Asian Cup has been held once every four years from 1956 onwards, the last of which held in China in 2004.
However, as the Summer Olympic Games and the European Football Championship are also held in the same year as the Asian Cup (2004, 2008, 2012 etc.), the sporting calendar is somewhat crowded.
