1964 AFC Asian Cup


The 1964 AFC Asian Cup was the 3rd edition of the men's AFC Asian Cup, a quadrennial international football tournament organised by the Asian Football Confederation. The finals were held in Israel from 26 May to 3 June 1964.
The tournament used a round-robin system which had to be increased in size to five teams, with the winners from the Western, Central 1 and 2 and Eastern zones, as well as the host nation competing for the title. Eleven of the 17 nations withdrew from qualification resulting in only one zone playing any qualifying matches. The two remaining teams from the Western and Eastern zones respectively qualified uncontested.
The final tournament was subsequently a four-team competition, the same format as previous editions, with Israel winning the title with a perfect record of three wins. In keeping with previous editions of the tournament, all the matches were only 80 minutes in duration.
