East Asian Football Championship is an football competition of East Asian countries and territories, held by the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF). Before the EAFF was founded in 2002, the Dynasty Cup was held between the East Asian top 4 teams, and was regarded as the unofficial East Asian Championship. There is a separate competition for both men (first held in 2003) and women (first held in 2005). There was also a combined points competition in 2005, where the results of the men's and women's teams are added together (not including qualifiers).

Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
