2023 AFC eAsian Cup |
The AFC eAsian Cup is an esports competition contested by members of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). The inaugural edition of the tournament was held on 1–5 February 2024, featuring teams that participated in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup. Indonesia are the inaugural champions.
History
editThe AFC announced on 8 December 2023 that an esports tournament will be held from 1 to 5 February 2024, in conjunction with the 2023 edition of the Asian Cup. The participants of the said competition were initially 20 out of the 24 teams that qualified for the concurrent tournament. [1] However, Hong Kong withdrew.[2] It was held at the Virtuocity eSports Arena in Doha[3] and played on Konami's football video game eFootball2024.[4] Indonesia became the first champion after beating Japan by two games to none.[5]
Format
editThe tournament starts with the group stage in which each team plays each other twice. The top two teams per group, in addition to the four best third-placers, qualify for the knockout stage. From there, winners of each round will be determined in a best-of-three format including the final.[3]
