The Premier League Asia Trophy (aka Asia Trophy and previously the FA Premier League Asia Cup) is a friendly four team preseason football tournament held in Asia every two years. The knockout event is contested over two match days by three Premier League football clubs and a local team from the host nation. It is the only Premier League affiliated tournament played outside England.
The Asia Trophy gives English clubs a chance to prepare for their upcoming season and the opportunity to grow their fanbase in Asia, while the Asian clubs benefit by having the rare opportunity to tackle popular English clubs.
