===Political interference===

The AFC Asian Cup is marked with numerous instances of political interference. One of these was the case of [[Israel national football team|Israel]], as the team used to be a member of the AFC but following the [[Yom Kippur War]] and increasing hostility from the Arab AFC members, Israel was expelled from the AFC in 1974 and had to compete in the [[Oceania Football Confederation|OFC]], until being granted [[UEFA]] membership in 1990.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.punditarena.com/football/cheffernan/controversial-case-israeli-football/|title=The Controversial Case of Israel & International Football|publisher=Pundit Arena|website=punditarena.com|access-date=29 July 2018|date=20 November 2014|author=Conor Heffernan|archive-date=29 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180729171022/http://www.punditarena.com/football/cheffernan/controversial-case-israeli-football/|url-status=live}}</ref> Meanwhile, similar cases also exist in other AFC tournaments like the one between [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]] and [[Iran national football team|Iran]]. Following the [[2016 attack on the Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran]], Saudi Arabia had refused to play against Iran and even threatened to withdraw, afterwards blowing over onto international level.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.memri.org/reports/saudi-iranian-tension-extends-sports-%E2%80%93-saudi-arabian-football-federation-announces-we-will|title=Saudi-Iranian Tension Extends To Sports – Saudi Arabian Football Federation Announces: We Will Not Play In Iran|date=6 January 2016|website=memri.org|publisher=The Middle East Media Research Institute|access-date=29 July 2018|archive-date=29 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180729171258/https://www.memri.org/reports/saudi-iranian-tension-extends-sports-%E2%80%93-saudi-arabian-football-federation-announces-we-will|url-status=live}}</ref> Tensions between the two Koreas during [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC)|qualification for the 2010 FIFA World Cup]] had led [[North Korea national football team|North Korea]] to withdraw from hosting the [[South Korea national football team|South Korean team]] and refusing to display the [[Flag of South Korea|South Korean flag]] and play [[Aegukga|their national anthem]]. As a result, North Korea's home matches were moved to [[Shanghai]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-fifa-koreas/koreas-match-moved-to-shanghai-after-anthem-row-idUKL0789295820080307|title=Koreas match moved to Shanghai after anthem row|author=Mark Ledsom|date=7 March 2008|publisher=[[Reuters]]|access-date=29 July 2018|archive-date=29 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180729171203/https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-fifa-koreas/koreas-match-moved-to-shanghai-after-anthem-row-idUKL0789295820080307|url-status=live}}</ref>
