AFC Asian Cup (User:HolySangkheili)

In 2024 due to the UEFA's Pro Ukraine stance, Russia, Belarus, Armenia and Kazakhstan left UEFA to join the AFC. Russia ended up winning the bidding process for the 2035 AFC Asian Cup defeating Iran, and a joint bid by Australia and Indonesia. Russia along with the member states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization; also hosted the 2059 AFC Asian Cup defeating the joint bid by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
In the 2039 edition held in North and South Korea, Bangladesh was the worst ranked team in the competition. They pulled the biggest cindarella story in AFC history winning the cup. They were grouped with Uzbekistan, Belarus and hosts South Korea. They tied 0-0 against Uzbekistan; won 1-0 against Belarus; and in the final match, Bangladesh scored 3 goals against South Korea after being down 2-0 after the first half. Bangladesh would be first in the group and went to play against defending champions Russia in the round of 16. They defeat Russia in penalties 5-3. They went on to the quarter finals and defeated North Korea 3-0 in Pyongyang. Then they went to defeat Lebanon 2-1 in a close game in extra time in the Semi Finals. In the final, Bangladesh would score in stoppage time to tie the game sending them and Qatar in extra time. With the clock at 120+3 before the final whistle, Bangladesh was awarded a penalty shot. Qatari goalkeeper Mohammad Al Sajid would save it but Bangladeshi defensemen Tariq Hussein would score on the rebound to win the AFC Asian Cup.
In 2043, the Oceanian Football Confederation merged with the Asian Football Confederation. The OFC continued to hold the OFC Nations Cup but without Australia and New Zealand. Instead Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands took their place.
In 2042, Kim Jong Un passed away and North Korea went into a civil war in which China tried to save the Kim Regime from the UN backed North Korean Pro South Resistance. China was banned from participating from the 2043 and 2047 editions
The 2075 edition held in Afghanistan and Pakistan was full of controversy due to the Taliban Government as most of the qualified teams requested to play all of their matches in Pakistan or Iran. Iran offered to join the hosting rights but the Taliban denied the request.
