About This Dataset
AFC Champions League Titles by CountrySouth Korea lead with 12 titles, ahead of Saudi Arabia and Japan tied on eight each, and these three nations account for 28 of the trophies. East Asia and the Gulf split the competition almost evenly, a geographic balance no other continent shows. South Korea's lead is notable because it is spread across many clubs rather than one giant, with Pohang Steelers, Seongnam and Jeonbuk all featuring. Iran and China are level on three, as is Israel, whose three titles are a relic of the era before Israeli football moved to UEFA. The tail is unusually broad, with the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Thailand on two each and Australia on one, meaning ten different countries have won Asia's biggest club prize.
