The CAFA Championship is an international football competition in Central Asia for the member nations of the Central Asian Football Association (CAFA).[1][2][3][4]
History
The inaugural edition of the senior men's tournament was planned to be hosted by Tashkent in October 2018.[1][2][3][4] It was not played out though. In March 2023, it was announced the inaugural edition of the senior men's tournament would commence in June 2023 in Tashkent and Bishkek for the six member associations, along with the addition of two invited guest teams: Russia and an unconfirmed Asian team.[5][6] However, the start of the inaugural edition of the tournament was put in doubt again after it was reported in early April 2023 that Iran, Uzbekistan, Russia and Iraq would instead take part in a four-nation tournament in June 2023.[7]
