2007 Asian Cup

The 2007 AMFA Asian Cup (or just 2007 Asian Cup) was the first edition of AMFA's quadrennial Asian Mini-Football Championship and was held in Qatar. Sixteen teams contested the final tournament after going through a qualification round. The tournament took place in four venues in the cities of Ar Rayyān, Al Wakrah, Doha and Umm Şalāl Muhammad.

Qualifying
Qualification for the tournament took place in 2006. Forty-four teams were divided into eleven groups of four and each team played two matches against each other, on a home-and-away basis. The first-placed teams from each group qualified automatically and the runners-up took part in a repechage to select the remaining four teams that joined the host nation in the final tournament.
