EAFF E-1 Football Championship (to be rebranded as the EAFF W-Cup in the 2025 edition) is an international football competition in East Asia for national teams of the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF). The competition between women's national teams is held alongside men's competition.
History
In 2005 there was also a combined points competition in 2005, where the results of the men's and women's teams were added together (not including qualifiers). In April 2012, the competition was renamed to the "EAFF East Asian Cup".[1] In December 2015, the new competition name "EAFF East Asian Championship" was approved,[2] but later changed to "EAFF E-1 Football Championship".[3] On 2 May 2024, it was confirmed that the new format would come into effect from the 2025 edition, with the name of the competition changing to EAFF W-Cup.
