The West Asian Football Federation (WAFF), founded in 2001, is an association
of the football playing nations in Western Asia. Its founding members are Iran,
Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria. In 2009, 3 more associations joined
the federation: Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Four other nations of
Western Asia: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Saudi Arabia joined in 2010. WAFF
organizes the West Asian Football Federation Championship. Some nations were
invited to participate in the competition when they were not yet members of the
federation. Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, which are not members, were invited to
participate in the first edition of the tournament in 2000.
