The AFC Solidarity Cup is an international football competition for Asian Football Confederation (AFC) member countries who are out of the continental qualifiers at early stage. The tournament was created following the termination of the AFC Challenge Cup.[1]
The competition currently features 10 national teams, where each team is guaranteed a minimum of 4 matches.[2] The first edition took place in November 2016. The second edition, scheduled for November and December 2020, was cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic in Asia.[citation needed]
The Northern Mariana Islands made their AFC Solidarity Cup debut after having been approved by the AFC to participate (the Northern Mariana Islands is an associate member of the AFC)
