East Asian Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The East Asian Cup is a football competition of East Asian countries and territories, held by the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF).
There is a separate competition for both men (first held in 2003) and women (first held in 2005); this page describes the men's competition. There was also a combined points competition in 2005, where the results of the men's and women's teams are added together (not including qualifiers).
China, South Korea and Japan have the right to automatically enter the competition, while other East Asian countries have to go through a qualifying round. Other East Asian countries that can take part are Chinese Taipei, North Korea, Guam, Hong Kong, China, and Mongolia, and Macau, China.
The competition format requires a team to play each of the other teams once; the team leading the table wins the cup.
