Kuala Lumpur: Ever since the Dutch East Indies made Asia’s first global bow over eight decades ago; our continent has enjoyed a multitude of memorable moments in the rarefied atmosphere of FIFA events.

Over the years, Asian sides and their players have also become synonymous with success. The titles and plaudits they have earned along the way helping ensure that Asia’s finest are both admired and feared by those they rub shoulders with on football’s loftiest stage.
