		Having never previously played in the final round of the Asian Cup, Saudi Arabia marked their rapid rise in Asian football by winning the tournament for the first time.
		The eight qualifiers joined hosts Singapore and defending champions Kuwait in the final round in December 1984, which followed a similar format to the 1980 competition.
		The Saudis would claim their first Asian Cup title as they strolled to a 2-0 win over China in the final.

		India took silver, their best ever performance in the Asian Cup, but the tournament is unfortunately also remembered for the absence of South Korea's top stars and the comments of the then FIFA President, Sir Stanley Rous, about the poor standard of sportsmanship.
		The Saudis made it to the 1988 Final in Qatar, and retained their title in the first Asian Cup to be decided on penalty-kicks, beating South Korea (who had qualified for the 1986 World Cup finals) from the spot after a 0-0 draw.
		For the next Asian Cup, in 2000, there will be a break with the unwritten rule which has resulted in recent editions of the finals alternating between the two power bases in the Middle East and the Far East.

		That China has had the talent to figure at the top of the Asian game has rarely been in doubt, a fact borne out by their reaching the semi-finals of last year's Asian Cup in Lebanon.
		The only question that remained was over the mental strength of a group of players who had consistently under-performed, a fact not lost on Milutinovic as he sought to qualify the team for the finals.
		In what was universally seen as the easier of the two groups in Asia's final round of qualifying, China won five and drew one of their first six games to guarantee a place in the finals two rounds before the end of qualifying.
