The men's football tournament has been a regular Asian Games sporting event since the 1951 edition, while the women's tournament began in 1990.

History

Since the 2002 Asian Games, age limit for men teams is under-23 plus up to three over aged players for each squad,[1] same as the age limit in football competitions at the Summer Olympics. Although Kazakhstan is a member of the Olympic Council of Asia, they cannot participate in football due to their football federation KFF has been a member of the UEFA since 2002. The same rule applies to the Guam and Australia are members of the AFC, but they are members of Oceania National Olympic Committees.

Japan is the only nation to have won both Gold medals of Men's and Women's tournament in an Asian Games (2010).
