 2016 AFC Solidarity Cup | |
The AFC Solidarity Cup is an international football competition for Asian Football Confederation (AFC) member countries who have little opportunity to organise international friendly matches. The tournament was created following the termination of the AFC Challenge Cup.[1]
The competition features 8 national teams, where each team is guaranteed a minimum of 3 matches.[2] The first edition took place in November 2016 and the second edition is scheduled for March 2020 (originally in September 2020).[2][3]
