The AFC has made a big move! The Super Cup + Youth AFC Champions League is coming, which may change the future of Asian football!

In 2025, Asian football may usher in two epoch-making intercontinental events - the Asian Super Cup and the Asian Youth Club Championship! The establishment of these two events will not only bring more exciting duels to fans, but also may completely change the pattern of Asian football.

1. Asian Super Cup: Kings duel, peak battle

According to exclusive reports from well-known Omani reporters, the AFC Competition Committee is discussing a proposal to resume the Asian Super Cup. This event will draw on the European Super Cup model, and will be the champion of the season's AFC Elite Championship against the AFC 2 (formerly the Asian Association Cup upgrade event) to create the peak battle for the start of the Asian club's season."

The Asian Super Cup was held briefly from the 1990s to the early 2000s, but was later suspended due to schedule issues. Now, with the rapid development of Asian football, the call for restarting the Super Cup is getting higher and higher. This can not only provide an additional stage of honor for the champion team, but also bring more high-quality international confrontations to fans!

2. Asian Youth Club Championship: The cradle of new stars

In addition to the Super Cup, the AFC also plans to launch the Asian Youth Club Championship, referring to the European Youth Champions League model, and the U or U21 teams of top clubs from various countries participate. The core goal of this event is to provide a high-level international competition platform for young Asian players to help them grow rapidly on the road of professionalism.

Through the intercontinental youth competition, clubs from various countries can better test the results of youth training and improve the overall talent reserve quality of Asian football. In the future, this event may become a springboard for Asian new stars to go to the world."

3. Double positive: a win-win situation between business and competition, industry insiders analyzed that the implementation of these two events will bring multiple positive benefits to Asian football:

Commercial value: The recovery of the Super Cup will greatly enhance the brand influence of intercontinental events and attract more sponsors and broadcast resources.

Competitive level: The establishment of the Youth Championship will accelerate the growth of young players and enhance the overall competitiveness of Asian football.

Youth Training System: By testing youth training results through international competitions, Asian football will have a stronger talent reserve.
