The ASEAN Club Championship or ACC, also known as the Shopee Cup for sponsorship reasons, is an international club football competition organised by the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) between regional clubs. The competition is backed by AFC and FIFA.
History
ASEAN Champions' Cup, first held in 1985, served as the qualifier for the Asian Club Championship. Bangkok Bank became the first champion. The ASEAN Club Championship was held as biannual tournament in 2003 and 2005. The first edition was sponsored by the LG Electronics, also known as the LG Cup Asean Club Football Championship. However, the tournament failed to gain traction due to lack of sponsors and conflict with the main calendar of the Asian Football Confederation. Plans to revive the tournament started as early as 2012. The tournament's revival was again proposed in 2019, but was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament was revived in April 2024 for the 2024–25 edition, with a new title sponsor Shopee.
Format and regulations
The format of the ASEAN Club Championship was the same as the AFC Cup, each national association in Southeast Asia sending their champion club representing the domestic league. The participating clubs were split into several groups in a round-robin format. The winners and runners-up advanced to quarter-finals or semi-finals.
