The Aga Khan Gold Cup was a tournament played in Dhaka, Bangladesh which invited the club sides from leading football nations of Asia to compete. Many renowned football pundits regard this competition as a predecessor of the AFC Champions League (held for the first time in 1967), since it was the first organized international competition that involved club teams around the continent. From the late 1950s to the early 1980s, it was a prestigious tournament among Asian clubs.
