The AFC Challenge League is an annual continental club football competition organised by the Asian Football Confederation. The competition is played among clubs from nations that did not receive direct qualifying slots to the top-tier AFC Champions League Elite or the second-tier AFC Champions League Two, based on the AFC club competitions ranking. The tournament was founded in 2005 as the AFC President's Cup, the third-tier club competition in Asian football, and was discontinued in 2014. In 2024, the AFC re-introduced a revamped competition under the name AFC Challenge League, with the records and statistics of the AFC President's Cup transferring to the new competition.[1][2] The final is held as a single match. Regar-TadAZ won the inaugural competition in 2005, defeating Dordoi-Dynamo 3–0.

Regar-TadAZ is the most successful club in the competition's history, having won three titles. Clubs from Tajikistan won four titles, making them the most successful nation in the competition. The tournament is dominated by clubs from Central Asia, with the only winners from outside that region being Yadanarbon in 2010 and Taiwan Power Company in 2011. The current champions are Ýedigen, who beat Rimyongsu 2–1 in the 2014 edition.
