The CAFA Nations Cup is an international football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the Central Asian Football Association (CAFA), the governing body of football in Central Asia.
The inaugural edition of the senior men's tournament was initially planned to be hosted by Tashkent in October 2018. It was not played out. In March 2023, it was announced the inaugural edition of the senior men's tournament would commence in June in Tashkent and Bishkek for the six member associations, along with the addition of two guest: Russia and an unconfirmed Asian team. However, the start of the inaugural edition of the tournament was put in doubt again after it was reported in early April 2023 that Iran, Uzbekistan, Russia, and Iraq would instead take part in a four-nation tournament in June 2023. On 15 April, it was reported that Russia was set to shun the inaugural CAFA Championship. On 19 April, it was reported that Russia had withdrawn from the tournament. On 24 April, Oman was reported to be an invited guest team after Thailand reportedly turned down an invitation.
In April 2025, it was announced that the second edition of the CAFA Nations Cup would be held around September, commemorating the ten-year anniversary of the CAFA organization. In June 2025, it was confirmed the second edition would be co-hosted in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan on 29 August to 8 September 2025 for the six member associations along with Malaysia and Oman as the guest teams. On 15 July 2025, Malaysia announced their withdrawal from the competition, citing problems with logistics and players' availability as the reasons. On 30 July 2025, India was announced as the guest team, replacing Malaysia.
