	History Of The Asian Cup - SoccerPulse Community
		Nearly half a century later, the Asian Cup remains a highly sought-after prize with 43 nations from the length and breadth of the world's largest continent competing for the right to lift the trophy in Beijing in August 2004.
		The final rounds of the 1968 Asian Cup marked the last time that the competition was played on a round-robin league basis and saw the emergence of Iran as a continental football force.
		The Saudis, playing in their fifth consecutive Asian Cup final, were keen to avenge their hammering by Japan in the group stage, but Shigeyoshi Mochizuki’s 29th minute strike proved to be the only goal of the final as the Japanese won 1-0.

		Following their debut in the 1954 FIFA World Cup Switzerland, this will be their fifth straight appearance, solidifying their top-dog status in Asia.
		If Korea are to satisfy their fanatical local support, they will have to draw on all their skill and potential, the experience of their coach as well as the elements afforded to home advantage.
		But with the first Asian finals making tournament history, the winds of change could be upon international football, and Korea could just be the team to demonstrate this.

		While, with their five appearances at the finals (2002 will be their sixth, and an Asian record fifth in a row) they far outrank all other continental rivals, the Koreans have yet to make the move up to global level, failing to win a single game in any of their appearances.
		It would be asking a lot of Guus Hiddink and his side to expect them to emulate the 1966 achievements of their northern cousins, who famously reached the quarter-finals, but the pressure is on the team at least to record their first win and reach the second round.
		While Seol is a new face on the scene, many of the side that failed once again in France 98 remain, with the ever-reliable Hong Myung-bo at the back, Yoo Sang-chul in the centre of midfield and Hwang Sun-hong working with Seol in attack.

		During its existence, the cup was regarded as the second most important European club competition out of three; behind the Champions League and ahead of the UEFA Cup.
		It was eventually scrapped however, as in many new European countries the domestic cup competition was seen to be of little value compared to the prestigious, old tournaments of Western Europe, such as the FA Cup and the Scottish Cup.
