Aga Khan Gold Cup (Dhaka, Bangladesh)


This tournament was initially devised as an unofficial Asian Champions' Cup, with top club sides from leading football playing nations invited to Dhaka. However, as various associations insisted on sending national selections rather than clubs, the tournament eventually failed to fulfill its intended purpose. It was discontinued after 1981 and replaced by the President's Gold Cup (which itself was discontinued after 1993).
