AFC Asian Cup winners
This hub links 46 profiled AFC members. The AFC has 47 members: Tajikistan is not yet profiled here. Coverage follows current confederation membership, so historical champions now outside the AFC are not included in this list.
The eight Asian Cup winners currently in the AFC are ordered by time since their last continental title. Regional cups are separate honours and do not reset this counter. Linked profiles provide tournament history, sources and live country counters.

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest trophy in Asia (AFC)?
The AFC Asian Cup is the top senior men's continental championship for AFC members. None of the members listed here has won the men's FIFA World Cup. Regional cups, Olympic and age-group competitions are outside this ranking's title scope.
How are teams ranked?
Past champions are ranked by the elapsed time since their latest Asian Cup title. Country counters start at the beginning of the documented local title date, not an invented final-whistle time; a round-robin profile may explicitly use the tournament completion date.
How often is the data updated?
These ranking-card elapsed labels are generation-time snapshots, not live timers. Results are checked before regeneration; follow a country link for its live drought counter.
