Over the years, Asian clubs competed against each other on a number of different fronts, namely the Asian Club Championship, the Asian Cup Winners' Cup and the Asian Super Cup. With the advent of the AFC Champions League, those competitions were merged into one major continental club tournament to truly determine Asia's best.
