In the AFC Asian Cup, prior to 2004, various match balls were used for the tournament, and therefore it was difficult to determine what was considered the official ball of the Asian Cup. It was only after the start of the new millennia when the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) began to declare one official match ball. The following match balls were used in the AFC Asian Cup over the years.
