- Afro-Asian Cup of Nations
The Afro-Asian Cup of Nations is played between the winners of the Asian Cup and African Cup of Nations. The first edition in 1978, where Iran defeated Ghana 3-0, the trophy was not awarded: because the second leg was cancelled due to political problems in Iran. The 1989 and 1999 editions were also cancelled.
The competition was discontinued following a CAF decision on July 30, 2000, after AFC representatives had supported Germany rather than South Africa in the vote for hosting the 2006 World Cup.
